My lesson with Emmy was quite informative, especially since he analyzed my faults and focused on the basics like paddle control, follow through, and stance. Still, I need to keep working on integrating these habits into my play, though.
I am not happy that AI or your website just summarized my previous feedback and said I could clear it all or edit it. Well, I listed just about every individual task that Emmy helped me with and it was summarized out in his review. Don’t have the time to list it all again. Whatever. As my 5 stars stated, Emmy’s lesson was awesome for me.

Emmy did a great job teaching us the basics, as we are beginners. Would definitely recommend and we plan on taking another lesson with him. Very easy going and kept teach us even after our lesson time was over.

The coach was fantastic—really knowledgeable and great at explaining things in a way that made sense. Their playing ability was top-notch, and it was easy to see how they were able to break down techniques and strategies for players of all levels. The sessions felt fun and motivating, making it simple to improve while enjoying the game.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn a first lesson for beginners, I focus on making the game fun and approachable. We start with a brief explanation of the game’s objective: hit the ball over the net and keep it in play. After a light warm-up, I introduce the court layout and equipment,
I then teach basic strokes—forehand and backhand—using the easy "Eastern Grip," and emphasize control over power. I also demonstrate the underhand serve and the return of serve, focusing on accuracy. The lesson ends with simple drills and positive feedback, helping the player feel confident and ready to play.
Lesson 11+In the remaining lessons, players will focus on mastering techniques and applying them in game situations. Expect to work on advanced strategies, such as anticipation, shot placement, and court awareness. There will be continued practice of volleying, dinking, and overhead shots.
As lessons progress, there will be more emphasis on doubles play and partner coordination, with drills designed to improve communication and positioning. Players will also participate in full gameplay to build confidence, refine skills, and develop match strategies. By the end, players should feel comfortable in competitive settings and be able to play confidently with consistent technique and solid game sense.
Lesson 4-10From the fourth to the tenth lesson, beginners will refine their skills and focus on game strategy. Lessons will cover advanced dinking, overhead shots, volley techniques, and serve variations. Players will practice court positioning and partner communication for doubles. By the tenth lesson, they'll play more practice games, focusing on consistency and strategy, preparing for real matches with greater confidence
Lesson 2-3

In the second and third pickleball lessons, beginners can expect to focus on improving their skills and gaining more confidence.
In the second lesson, they’ll review the basic strokes and serve, and then learn dinking—a soft shot used near the net. The lesson will also focus on footwork and positioning, helping them move more efficiently on the court. They’ll practice serving and returning with greater accuracy.
In the third lesson, beginners will continue to practice dinking and begin learning volleys—hitting the ball out of the air before it bounces. There will be more focus on game-like drills to improve timing, strategy, and overall play. By the end of these lessons, they should feel more comfortable and ready to play in real matches.
