The best part of the lesson with Emily was the well-structured drills that really helped improve my skills. The session felt engaging and focused, making it easier to pick up new techniques. If you’re considering pickleball lessons, I’d definitely recommend trying Emily’s classes for a fun and effective experience! 🏓

Emily is a fantastic instructor! She made me feel comfortable right away and did a great job explaining and correcting my technique. I learned more in an hour with Emily than the last few years of casual pickleball combined. I cant wait to return and learn more!

I am a brand new beginner with no experience with racquet sports, but I have learned a ton throughout my lessons with Emily. She explains things in a very easy way to understand and is extremely patient and encouraging. Looking forward to building up my skills with her.

Emily is an engaging and enthusiastic coach. She will always give positive feedback before correcting your form and does a good job at knowing when to either make a drill easier or more difficult depending on the student. She breaks everything off into bite size chunks so it never feels overwhelming to learn different aspects of the game.

In a large group of kids, she managed to give everyone individual attention and gave great corrections! I had a ton of fun with my friends and also felt like I learned something new. I would recommend her highly to work with anyone’s kids!

Emily had a group of 7 kids to corral and she did a great job! She went over the rules clearly and kept everyone engaged with fun drills and contests throughout. Can’t wait to take another lesson!

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonThe first lesson I typically treat as a pickleball 101 lesson. I lay the foundational knowledge of the court and the rules so we can build upon that later on. I usually go over the non volley zone area and have a fun drill/contest to get used to dinking. I also go through serving and keeping score so players can understand the flow of the game. Typically I’ll have players play a short game at the end to put it all together and explain what other aspects of the game we’ll address moving forward.

Lesson 11+Here we start to pull it all together! We’ll get to put your new skills to the test by weaving together all the technical and tactical skills we learned. We can also go over more advanced shots and overall performance so you can be your most confident self on the court.

Lesson 4-10The following lessons will incorporate shot accuracy and key strategies for singles/doubles play. Here we will build confidence by doing non volley zone, serving, returning and transition zone drills.

Lesson 2-3The following lessons will build upon what we learned in the first. Depending on player needs, we’ll go over the technical aspects of the game - proper stances, grip, footwork, positioning, etc. It’s important to get these right so once we get more advanced, there’s a proper foundation.

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen it comes to kids, I always focus on having a fun yet competitive atmosphere where everyone gets to play and have fun! I keep them engaged during drills by always having fun contests throughout and can gently correct any errors I see during this time. I always want everyone to have fun and learn a little along the way!

Working with teenagersWorking is teenagers is something I enjoy as they are eager to learn and have tons of energy. Similar to younger kids, I focus on keeping them engaged through a fun, light hearted competitive spirit. I incorporate contests throughout the lessons and ensure I show them what I’m looking for instead of telling them.
