Prepare yourself for Pickleball

Let's get ready to start Moving around again!

While there are tons of instructions/videos for stretching and exercise on the internet, our research and subsequent conversations with Cathy Jo Johnson shows her site to be one of the best for Hershey’s Mill Pickleball players to follow. Pickleball AND Seniors – yup, that’s us !

  • If you have your own favorite site(s) and have been doing something to stay limber already, by all means, please continue. You will be happy you did!
  • If you have not yet started getting ready for some activity, we thought it most appropriate at this time to get some information to you on a way to get ready for your return to pickleball. Please see the videos below on warming up and stretching.You may also want to explore Cathy Jo’s site that contains much more that you may be interested in.
  • Be aware that if you have particular aches and pains where you would like some professional advice before playing, click for our page on Hershey’s Mill relationship with Dr. Gabe Kresge at Kinetic PT.

We hope to see you out there!
