Better Together: Doubles Strategy & Communication Hacks That Win Matches

Doubles pickleball is all about synergy. You don’t need to be the best player on the court—just the best teammate.

Communication Is Key Call “mine,” “yours,” or “let it go.” Pre-match hand signals can also help decide serve placements or poaches.

Team Positioning Tips:

• Move as a unit—no big gaps between you.

• Use stacking (advanced) to keep strong sides in play.

Encourage Each Other Stay positive. A good attitude builds momentum, and a few kind words can flip a game in your favor.

Win as a team, lose as a team—but always support each other.
