Pickleball log for games, scores, drills and league nights

This pickleball log is for players who like to remember each game, score, partner and practice session, from casual open play to league nights and tournaments. Undated and 45 pages long, it holds 16 game pages with a court sketch, 6 pages for drills and practice, a tracker for shot skills, a page for your rating and goals, notes for leagues and tournaments, lesson notes, notes on partners and opponents, sketches of play patterns and notes on paddles and gear.

You get US Letter and A4 PDF files to download right away. Nothing is mailed.

How the pickleball log helps you play better

After you play, list each game with your partner, your opponents' initials and the final score, then mark on the little court where you won and lost points. Patterns jump out quickly. In the drill log you count how many dinks, drops, serves and resets you make out of 10, and a monthly check-in on your shots points to the one to work on next.

Lesson pages hold your coach's cues in your own words, while the league, tournament and match record pages turn a whole season into results you can look back on. Your rating, goals, gear and favorite courts sit in the same binder, so your whole game lives in one place.

Who this pickleball journal is for

• Doubles and mixed doubles players who switch partners at open play and want to recall every game
• League players following weekly results and standings and what works against tough teams
• Tournament players choosing divisions and partners, making game plans and keeping their results
• Newer players in lessons or clinics who want their cues and drills together
• Anyone aiming for a higher rating or level who enjoys seeing progress written down

Design and printing

• Calm, minimalist look: white pages with soft blush pink touches that are easy on ink
• Generous margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Two portrait sizes, US Letter at 8.5 x 11 inches and A4 at 210 x 297 mm
• Undated, so you can begin on any day and print more game logs and drill logs whenever you need them
• Fits any rating system or level and any scoring format your club plays
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it

Inside the pickleball log: 45 pages

1. 1Cover page listing the contents
2. 2A four step guide (play, practice, learn, review), a short glossary of eight terms (dink, kitchen, drive, third shot drop, speed-up, reset, stacking, transition zone), a key for types of play, a reminder of how scoring works with room for house rules and a please note box
3. 3Your player profile. Note your name, when you started, home courts, rating or level and regular partners, your style of play, which hand you use and your preferred side. Record your game today in five formats (what you usually play, your best result, your goal), rate 12 shots from 1 to 5, and add why you play, what you would like to get better at, notes on your body and someone to call in an emergency
4. 4Season goals, four goal plans each with the goal, its reason, a first small step, a deadline and progress circles, then 10 skills to learn with lines for more and seven events and places you dream of
5. 5Rating and goal tracker. Write your rating now, your target and when you hope to reach it, and who rates you. A nine row log captures the date, rating or level, its source, the change and what helped. A progress chart with 12 check-ins follows, along with what lifts your level and the wins a rating never shows
6. 6Shot skills tracker with six check-in dates across 12 shots (serve, return, forehand and backhand dink, third shot drop, drive, volley, reset, lob, overhead, speed-up and footwork), each rated 1 to 5 with a target, plus your biggest jump, shot of the month and your plan to practice it
7. 7 to 22Game log. Note the date, indoors or outdoors, the courts, format circles (doubles, mixed doubles, singles, open play, league, tournament), start time, the event or group, level and conditions. An eight row score table records partner, opponents, both scores, the result and notes, and a court diagram shows where points were won or lost. Finish with games played and won, 1 to 5 ratings for energy, focus and fun, mood circles, what went well and what to improve
8. 23 to 28Drill and practice log. Note who you practiced with, the focus of the day, location, minutes, warm-up and energy. An 11 row drill table lists each drill, the shot, reps or minutes, how many you made out of 10 and notes, alongside eight drill ideas, what clicked and the plan for next practice
9. 29 to 30League notes covering the league, its night and time, division, team or partner, format and season, a 12 week table of dates, opponents, scores, results and notes, totals for wins, losses and points scored and conceded, your standing, what worked and notes for next season
10. 31 to 32Tournament notes with the event, dates, venue, division, partner and seed or pool, a checklist for before the event, a numbered game plan, an eight row match table with scores for three games and the result, your result or medal and what you learned
11. 33 to 35Lesson notes, two lessons per page, each with the date, coach or clinic, focus, six numbered cues, a court sketch, drills to practice and homework
12. 36Partners and opponents. A seven row partner table covers which side they play, strengths, what works for the two of you and your record. A nine row opponent table covers style, strengths, weak spot and the plan for next time. Add your signals and calls and notes on good sportsmanship
13. 37Play patterns, four court diagrams for sketching your serve and return plan, third shot plan, kitchen play and stacking, plus plans for when you are behind, when you face hard hitters and when you face soft players
14. 38Paddle and gear notes, five paddle rows (weight, grip size, shape and feel, owned since, notes), court shoes, grip changes, your preferred balls, a checklist for your bag and a wish list
15. 39Courts and places to play, an 11 row table of indoor or outdoor, surface, court count, open play hours and notes, with your favorite spot, places to try, court etiquette and notes for playing while traveling

18. 42Monthly review. Count sessions, games, wins and practice hours, note your best game, a great partner moment, your rating, wins and highlights, reflect on which shots felt strong, what held you back and how your body recovered, rate the month from 1 to 10, pick next month's focus and end with a kind word to yourself
