About this listen
Discover why pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport – start playing in just 5 minutes… all while forging close family bonds and building unforgettable memories!
Are you looking for an exciting game that your whole family can take part in – regardless of their age or fitness level?
Keen to play a ball sport that doesn’t require you to fork out hundreds on expensive equipment?
One that doesn’t take hours of lessons or put as much strain on your body as tennis and many other racquet sports do?
Then you may have already stumbled upon your ideal sport: pickleball.
Pickleball is a fast-paced sport that hones the quickness of your hand and your reflexes, but it has the added bonus of being strategic – which makes it a little bit like playing chess on a court!
Anyone can play it – even those who’ve never played tennis or picked up a paddle or racquet in their lives.
Because the court is much smaller than tennis courts, it’s ultra-sociable – you remain close to your opponents throughout the game.
And if you’ve always found sports like tennis to be too challenging… or to require too much running around… know that this limit doesn’t apply in pickleball.
Nothing’s stopping you but yourself – it’s time to get out there and play!
To get started, this book has all the information you need to play competitive, action-packed games with your family from Day One.
If you’re ready to spend quality time with your family while playing an exciting, sociable game, then scroll up and click “Add to Cart” now!

So, what’s your favorite Bible verse? Wait, let me guess. Is it Jeremiah 29:11? Maybe Philippians 4:13? Or could it be John 3:16? Don’t get me wrong—those are all great, but let’s be honest, we hear them a lot. I’m willing to bet your favorite passage probably isn’t coming from Haggai, Obadiah, or Nahum—right? But guess what? Those books have some gems, too. If you’re ready to go beyond the usual, you’ve come to the right place!

WHO KNEW?
Pickleball is one of those arcane words I’ve heard tossed about in recent days that really had no meaning for me.
Enter “Pickleball Basics” by author James Stuart and wow, the curtain really gets pulled back!
I was surprised to learn how economical it is to get into this family-friendly sport, and that it’s far more than just a physical activity. The strategies involved will keep everyone engaged and the smaller court means a far more intimate environment, without all the constant running and physical challenges other racquet sports demand.
I haven’t listened to any other books on pickleball, but it’s difficult to imagine a more complete, thorough, engaging, or informative book on the subject. Quite literally, everything one needs to know is right here, and it’s all delivered by Luke Oldham’s great narration.
Ready to make family time and time with friends special? Give this great book a listen and you can be playing today!
Highly recommended

Energy, Strategy & Comaraderie

Stuart's enthusiasm for the game is infectious, and his advice is practical and actionable.

He covers everything from the history of the sport to the rules of the game, and provides practical tips and strategies for improving your skills and having fun on the court. Luke Oldham's narration is engaging and clear, making it easy to follow along. Listening to the audiobook makes me want to try it with my family. I feel this low-impact sport is a great way to bond with your children.

A Paddle of Connection!
In James Stuart's "Pickleball Basics," I stumbled upon a delightful guide that not only demystifies the game but also weaves in the essence of family bonding. Chapter 6, "Overcoming Obstacles: Tackling Tricky Serves and More," became a compass for navigating the challenges on the pickleball court. As a beginner, I resonated with the strategies shared, and the anecdotes sprinkled throughout the chapter brought a sense of camaraderie, turning the obstacles into stepping stones for improvement. Luke Oldham's narration adds an extra layer of enthusiasm to the book.

excellent guide to pickleball
"Pickleball Basics" audiobook gives everything you need to get started playing this fast growing sport. This guide tells you about the basics, drills to help learn to play, etiquette, what gear to use, and even competitive play. The audiobook makes the sport relatable to "regular people" (no Wimbledon experience required) and describes how it's fun for the family creating happy family memories can be made playing together. The narrator's voice is great for generating excitement for the sport.
I have played tennis, squash, and racquetball, but pickleball is more my speed now to play with my grandkids. This audiobook has all the information we need to really get started.
