Pickleball Basics for Women
You might wonder why a woman who’s never set foot on a pickleball court in her life is posting about pickleball basics for women, but I think I’m finally, maybe, sort of, considering taking up the sport. My sister loves tennis so I asked her what she thought, and she said she only knows two things about people who play pickleball 1) They LOVE it, and 2) They can’t wait to tell you all about it. lol
To decide whether or not I wanted to give it a try, I decided to do some research. Not about the rules or benefits, of course, but how cute the clothes are!
I started off with this bright, modest skirt. I love the color and the length. It’s not too short and since I’ll probably flail around I don’t want to moon anyone. (Do people still say “moon”?)
This is gorgeous! I love the ruffled edge, and it has every color under the sun in the pattern. I could wear it with shirts in blue, pink, red, yellow, orange – you name it!
This might be too short for some of you, but if you’ve got the legs to wear this I say go for it! It is so soft and feminine. I’m not sure what goes in the cute pocket on the back. I’d put a card with my doctor’s name on it, but that’s probably not what it’s for. lol
Simple, classic, and in a color that reflects the sun. You can’t go wrong with a white top
Quick Dry 50+ UV Protection Shirt
This comes in a lot of different colors, and it has built-in sun protection. I love the collar detail and the wide v-neck.
This t-shirt just says it’s a pickleball t-shirt, but I think my name is better! As my sister said, everyone who plays the game seems to love it. This color is gorgeous, but it comes in others, and it looks super soft.
I’m a big fan of Sketchers, and I love the black and pink color combination.
Aren’t these pretty?! The reviews say that these work specifically for narrow feet so if that’s you you’re in luck!
Queen of the Court Pickleball Bag
This bag alone makes me want to play pickleball! It is sooo cute! It has a hook to allow for hanging on the fence, a place for your paddles and water bottle, and interior pockets to hold keys, phone, etc.
I suppose if I’m going to play, I will need some paddles. It’s not all about the fashion! These are highly rated and under $60.00 dollars. Not too bad!

I am just starting to play pickleball and it is so fun. I love all these cute outfits and bags, etc.
I played pickleball years ago and it was a blast! I didn’t have the nice fashion options that your showing when I played back then.. Love the sleeveless tops! Might have to pick it back up again now!
I started playing Pickleball when I moved to NC 8 years ago. Your sister is so right-Pickleball is fun and a great workout. Best of all, it’s a great way to make new friends.All the clothes and gear you have shown are spot-on. I can’t be exposed to sun so I like long sleeve, SPF workout shirts. They are also great for walking the dog, gardening, beach. Amazon, Coolibar, and Land’s End have a really nice selection, at all price points. Let us know when you have tried Pickleball!
I play pickleball at least 4 times a week. I have been playing for a year and I am totally obsessed with the sport. It’s exercise, fun and friendship! I used to run to keep in shape and have totally abandoned it for pickleball.
In college in the early 80s, I took a “recreational games” elective course, and we played pickleball as part of that. Haven’t heard of it since until just in the past year or so. Your sister is right. I loved it so so much. And I am completely unathletic. But it’s just so much fun and you can make it as easy or as challenging as you want. And boy are those outfits cute!!
I play pickleball several times a week. You would love it! All ages play and just have fun. Thanks for this post!
