Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe start slow. This first course is all about safety, rules, positioning, scoring, equipment, paddle grips, contact points, serving and soft volleys.
Lesson 4-10More aggressive serves, dinking with a purpose, drop shot and transitions, resets, footwork and strategy. By the end of these courses you will be comfortable playing in most open play and 3.0 + DUPR rated leagues and tournaments.
Lesson 2-3Focus on serving, dinking and drop shots.
Advanced training plan
Youth players
Working with kidsThe focus on teaching youth is to get them interested on the game by making it fun and introduce rules and strategy gradually. It is best to have 2-4 youth in each lesson. These lessons are packed with fun drills and basic skill building. As the course progresses we move into more focused strategy, positioning, shot selection and strategy. Kids can be fast learners and we build as their skills level builds without demanding too much.
Working with teenagersTeenagers want to play. If the student has no knowledge of Phckleball we start by hitting and playing and introduce rules, scoring and positioning first. We then work on a specific skill set in each session and practice that in game play for the last 20 minutes.
For teens who have basic knowledge and some experience, we focus on one skill set each session and then apply it in game play situations for the final 20 minutes.
