Pickleball lessons near me in Cedar Park, TX

Promptly after booking with me, you'll receive my welcome message and question: "Looking forward to your lesson. When you have a chance please let me know, in 2-3 sentences, about your pickleball, racquet sports, and/or other sports experience, and what you hope to learn/improve in your lesson(s)." Student responses help me to get right into and make the most of our time during their lesson. Then, based on my ongoing assessment during the lesson, I will customize the lessons to the student's level and learning style. My teaching style utilizes evidenced based skill acquisition approaches so students learn and retain task/goal oriented pickleball skills more naturally. Every shot in pickleball can be accomplished using a variety of techniques and no technique is "the right correct way." I can teach you the slice, top, push and lift dink, the overhead extreme angle put away, drive and drop and roll and flick volleys. How about the slice, top or lob serve. And, I can teach you how to hit deceptive shots too. I'm considered a power player with excellent finesse paddle skills. I can play right and left handed, hit dinks and half volleys between my legs and behind my back. If you want to pursue mastering pickleball and playing top level, even professional level, I'll get you to the highest level you aspire to the fastest!

Advanced lessons are for players who have a firm grasp of all the fundamentals and are looking to improve a designated skill within the game. The first lesson would include and introduction between coach and student, assessment of current skill level, and tailored instruction to help elevate the student's game. This is typically done by either drilling a new skill or practicing in a way that promotes advantage over opponents while playing to the student's strengths as a player.

Assess your skills set, through basic shots, shot selection, and some game play to see if I’m going to be a good fit to grow your skills.

Tennis shoes Towel, water Paddle if you have one

If we are going to be working out doors and it is a hot day of course sunscreen or a visor and plenty of liquids and potentially a few healthy snacks or a good idea to bring. Your favorite paddle and if you have a specific ball you would like to hit around but I will bring several really good quality outdoor balls and if it is indoors I will bring all of the indoor balls.

I provide balls, and if needed, have paddles to borrow too. Bring your paddle if you have one, water, small towel, and wear light comfortable active wear plus non-marking court shoes that have good lateral support.

Lessons for kids are designed using a constraint-led approach and are conducted based on age of students. Age 8-under will incorporate more appropriate methods for their motor skill level, whereas 9 and older can incorporate more advanced skill learning.

Patience is key. Depending on age, some kids pick up the sport and can progress like any other player. It does usually take slightly longer for kids to develop proper technique and consistency. That being said, it improves hand-eye coordination, control, and is a great form of exercise with relatively low risk of injury when compared to other contact sports.
