Since most points are won at the non-volley-zone line, it is imperative that you work your way to there as soon as possible! However, make sure you are moving in to the kitchen line under control, which may mean that you could be forced to split step in the transition area. It is okay to take a few shots in order to make it all the way to the kitchen line. Pickleball players generally make errors in “no man’s land” because they are trying to move in too much or too quickly. Reduce these errors by moving in under control and remaining calm in the transition area. ⚠️
