Beginner training plan
Your first lesson1. Warm Welcome & Introduction (5–10 minutes)
• Greet each player warmly, remember, confidence starts with feeling seen.
• Briefly explain what pickleball is: “It’s a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong but easier to learn and so much fun.”
• Go over basic court terms: baseline, kitchen (non volley zone), net, and service boxes.
• Emphasize safety especially about not backing up quickly and watching for others.
Lesson 11+5. Game Play Basics (10–15 minutes)
• Introduce scoring simply (serve must score to earn points).
• Play mini-games (first to 5 points) keep it light and instructional.
• Rotate partners often so everyone interacts and learns together.
6. Cool Down & Wrap-Up (5 minutes)
• Recap the day: “Today you learned the basics serve, return, and how to keep the ball in play.”
• Give one encouraging tip for next time: Focus on keeping your paddle up and staying patient.
• Invite questions and end with a group high-five or photo!
Lesson 4-103. Drinking & Control Drills (10 minutes)
• Start close to the net for short, gentle shots called “dinks.”
• Focus on soft touch and control, not power.
• Encourage talking and laughter this helps ease nervousness and builds group energy.
4. Serves & Returns (10–15 minutes)
• Teach the underhand serve (below waist, paddle moving upward).
• Practice serving diagonally into the correct box
• Then have partners try returning serves back and forth slowly.
Lesson 2-32. Equipment & Grip (5 minutes)
• Show how to hold the paddle using the “shake hands” (continental) grip.
• Let them get comfortable with the paddle: light taps, bouncing the ball up and down.
• Show correct paddle position in front of the body (“ready position”).

Working with kidsWith kids, I start off a little bit slower. Every kid is different so after the session start, then I’ll be able to gauge on what direction to go. Some kids have experience. Some don’t, but at the end of the day we’re gonna have some fun!!!
Working with teenagersWith teenagers I deal with them according on their experience, their fast learners and they have a little more athletic ability. It’s fun training, teenagers cause they pick up fast!!!
