When your partner gives you an open hand ✋ at the kitchen line, they're telling you to switch! This means after you return the serve 🎾, they'll slide to cover the open spot in the kitchen 🏓, and you should run up to their side 🏃‍♀️.

Generally, it's best to return the ball straight ahead ⬆️ when switching sides. This makes it tougher for your opponent's third shot 🎯, and gives your partner a better chance to cover you, no matter where they hit it! #Pickleball #Tips
