This program for novice and beginner players has the fast learner in mind. Pickleball is easy & fun and most players can bypass much of the oversimplified course material by racing through many of the easy to learn basics. Lessons will focus on basic techniques which are fundamental to the key shots in pickleball: the serve, return of serve, groundstrokes, volleys, drop shots and dinks. Drills will be focused on non-volley zone play, transition zone play, serve and return of serve. Game play will focus upon implementation of skills learned during the drill session. Most novice & beginner players in this program find their way to intermediate play in a very short period of time.
This program is designed for pickleball players who are seeking better techniques and tactics which will help them become stronger players. Beginners and intermediate players will benefit from instruction, drills and play that will enhance their existing skills. Skill refinement at the net, in the transition zone and at the baseline will be the traditional focal point of this very common lesson agenda. When to approach, how to approach, when to drive, when dink & how to structure points and create opportunities are all key elements of this group of lessons. This program is essential for players making the move from a 3.5 rating to a 4.0 rating.
This program is designed for tennis players who are adding pickleball to their sports agenda. Since tennis players already have a strong court sense and eye to hand coordination, tennis players typically are already capable of intermediate pickleball play and desire some fine tuning to adapt existing skills to the pickleball court. This class is very popular as there are very few Pickleball coaches who embrace the recent influx of top level tennis techniques used by pro-pickleball players who have strong pro-tennis backgrounds. This program helps tennis players identify techniques & tactics which easily transition to Pickleball and helps players unravel myths about what tennis players can & cannot do on a Pickleball court.
