Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI approach the first lesson by getting to know the player’s current skill level, athletic background, and goals with pickleball. From there, I focus on building a strong foundation through fundamentals such as grip, footwork, positioning, and understanding the rules and strategy of the game. I keep the environment positive, patient, and encouraging so players feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. My goal during the first lesson is to help each player gain confidence while also identifying areas we can continue improving together.
Lesson 11+By the end of this stage, players are more confident, consistent, and comfortable competing in real games with better decision-making and overall control.
Lesson 4-10From lessons four through ten, we focus on building consistency and applying fundamentals in real game situations. Drills become more game-like, with an emphasis on dinking, volleys, resets, and the third shot drop.
I also introduce more strategy, including court positioning, doubles communication, and learning when to attack versus when to reset a point. As players progress, they start to think less about individual shots and more about how to construct and control points.
Lesson 2-3In the second lesson, beginners can expect to start building on the fundamentals from the first session. We usually focus more on consistency, proper contact, movement, and getting comfortable with rallying. I also begin introducing basic court positioning and simple strategy so players understand where to be during points, especially around the kitchen.
By the third lesson, players are typically starting to put everything together. We work more on controlled gameplay, decision-making, and learning when to speed the ball up versus when to reset the point. At this stage, I help players start recognizing patterns in real game situations so they can feel more confident transitioning from practice drills into actual games.
Youth players
Working with kidsI also enjoy coaching kids and making pickleball fun, simple, and easy to understand for younger players. My approach focuses on building fundamentals through engaging drills, positive reinforcement, and keeping things active so they stay interested and confident while learning.
Having a child of my own has helped shape my patience and communication style when working with kids. I understand how important it is to keep sessions encouraging, structured, and fun while still teaching real skills like coordination, footwork, and basic strategy.
My goal is to help kids develop a strong foundation in the game while also building confidence and a love for the sport.
Working with teenagersI also enjoy coaching teenagers and helping them develop a more competitive style of play. With this age group, I focus on sharpening fundamentals while introducing strategy, shot selection, and court awareness to help them start thinking more like advanced players.
Sessions are structured but engaging, with an emphasis on consistency, decision-making, and learning how to compete under pressure. I encourage effort and accountability while helping them understand how small adjustments can quickly improve their game.
My goal is to help teens build confidence, improve quickly, and develop into strong, competitive players while still enjoying the process.
What you need to bringComfortable athletic clothes and tennis or court shoes with good grip. Most importantly, bring a great attitude (no experience required — I’ll handle the rest, you just show up ready to have fun and learn).
What I can bringI provide all necessary training equipment for lessons, including pickleballs, paddles, ball containers, and training cones.
