Pickleball Tips to Close Out your Game - From up 9-6-1 to a loss at 9-11 | The Game that Slipped Away
What do you do when you're up in a pickleball game?
See if this story has ever happened to you. You're serving at 9-6-1. A couple of minutes later, you're up at the net tapping paddles. Your opponents are saying, “great game.” You're looking at your partner going, “I don't know what happened.”
In this video, I want to give you some tips for what you can do when you're the team serving at 9-6-1. And then, in the end, we're going to talk about some tips that you can do when you're the team that's down 6-9 to get back into it and maybe come out on top.
Let’s start with the team that has 9. You want to focus on two things. One, you want to have some sort of a plan. And we're talking here about not just regular rec play. We're talking about the more competitive play when you're playing one of those games. You can have a brief conversation with your partner and say, “hey, nine, six, one, let's do this” You're going to basically implement a plan with your partner to make sure that the point is productive.

And that's a fundamental concept. When you're playing pickleball, when you're serving at a score like 9-6, you have to make sure that you're productive. You may not win the rally, but you want to make sure that you're productive. In VIPickleball, that's a concept that we really spent a lot of time focusing on, produced when you're the survey team.
So if you're on the team at 9-6-1, you're putting the ball in play, and you're making them hit some sort of ball to beat you. The other thing you want to do is make sure that if you're the team in control if you get sided out, make sure that there is no return to serve miss four shots if you're in this position.
Make sure that you're really focusing on maintaining that advantage and not allowing that 6 to creep up the 7 or 8 because that's when things get tricky.
What you do when you're on the team with 6?
A couple of different things. Obviously want to be productive, too. But what you want to focus on when you're on the team with 6.
You want to really understand that the team with 9 is starting to get tight. Their arms are getting tight. Their legs are getting tight. Everything is getting tight. You want to make sure that you make the team with 9 hit the ball. Ensure that the 9 team touches that ball because you want to ensure that you can be tight.
If the 9 team makes an error, you get it to seven. And then even 8, maybe 9. The 9 teams will be so tight; you just keep hitting the ball and let them basically give you the game.
Remember, next time you're playing pickleball out there, if you're the team that's up 9-6, you've got to close it out. You've got to make sure that you're productive when you have an opportunity to serve. And if you're up and you're serving, just make sure you take a moment to think about what your next strategy will be, trying to avoid letting the 6 teams creep back in. Because what'll happen is invariably the nerves will kick in, your arms will get tight, adrenaline starts pumping, all that kind of stuff.
So you want to make sure that if you're the team ahead, you keep on focusing on what you have to do to close it out. If you're the team that's behind, work one point at a time, recognize that if you score a point and then the next point that your opponents are going to get tight, use that to your advantage and see if you can tie it up and maybe win the pickleball game.
Good luck out there.
