Intro to Pickleball

This is a fun and welcoming 60 minute beginner session with a small group of players (max. 4). You will be taught the fundamentals of pickleball while playing with structured, active coaching. Paddles are available for use during class.

Small Group Advanced Beginner Lessons

This class is for players with some court experience who are looking to improve consistency of their shots and game strategy (max. 4).  Players will develop and maintain solid serve and return of serve shots.  In addition, we will review stroke mechanics and footwork for ground strokes and volley shots.  There will be emphasis on the dink shot and ways to develop this very important skill.

Champion of the Court: Beginner/Advanced Beginner (3.0 & Under Level)

Practice some drills and then use your skills! Each session begins with 30 minutes of drills, followed by four 12 minute games. Players will move up or down the court and be paired with different partners during each game. The player with the most points will be our “Champion of the Court!” 

You must be able to do the following: hit a majority of your serves/returns in, know the two bounce rule and demonstrate it most times, know where to stand on the court, know the fundamental rules, and be able to keep score.

Round Robin: Intermediate (3.1-3.5 Level)

Join us for some friendly, yet competitive round robin fun! Players will be randomly assigned a partner each week. Teams will play five timed matches and move up or down a court based on performance. The team with the most points each week wins! Please note: this is not a class for beginners. It is suited for players who are comfortable and experienced in playing competitive games at a mid-intermediate level.

You must be able to do the following: regularly hit serves/returns in to mid-court or deeper, sustain dinking in the game, move quickly towards the non-volley zone when the opportunity presents itself, and be aware of your partner's positioning on the court and movement as a team.
