Beginner training plan
Your first lessonAssess their mental and physical athleticism and well-being. Teach them the fundamentals and basics, and the rules. Look to have fun and enjoy to start off with. We won't go over anything heavy since this is just an intro. Will find strengths and weaknesses that we can build upon in future lessons. Ideally the first lesson is you and one to two other players. That way we can get a game going and show you doubles pickleball.
Lesson 11+Well, if I had given you 11 plus lessons and you're still a beginner, I might need to question what I'm doing. At this point I have drilled into you the mental aspects of the game and you should be able to self-correct and self-teach your own mistakes. While you might not be physically able to perform all of the shots, you will have the mindset of a better player. Also, just to mention that I usually do lessons that are about 2 hours long. So I'm going off of the fact that I've probably coached you for 22 plus hours at this point.
Lesson 4-10Now we are getting it to the territory on which we can really start developing our game. Our mind should be used to it's going points switching sides etc. So we can focus on our body positioning our strokes and possibly strategies. This is the amount of lessons area where I'm more comfortable doing one-on-one skill advancement. The first couple of lessons for absolute beginners are going to be more ideal with someone else there preferably a friend or someone you play pickleball with.
Lesson 2-3We'll see how much they remember from the first lesson well of course remind them of things they may have forgotten. We'll build upon what we learned in the first lesson and again second and third lesson are going to be more getting into the groove of playing scoring points switching sides etc. Again this is better with one to two other players. Depending on their progress we can possibly start getting into some mechanics and mindsets along with strategy. Each lesson is very individualized. Even if there are multiple people there I'm more than likely going to touch on things that my possibly give breakthrough aha moments to each person.
