Wow, Jens's patience and encouragement really made the lesson stand out. Though I still have some areas to refine, I appreciated how approachable and calm he was throughout.

The pickleball lesson with Jens was okay but could be improved. The class started 30 minutes late and the location was very crowded, which left only 10 minutes to play. Hopefully the next session will start on time and offer more playing time in a less busy setting for a better experience overall.
Beginner training plan
Your first lesson“It’s all in the wrist” - that’s what my old coach told me when I started playing tennis as a teenager, and then continued playing for the next 6 years. That means that in the first lesson, we will go through how to hold and handle the paddle the correct way.
We will do basic shots, go through the ground rules, practice serving and keeping a flow.
Lesson 11+At this point you should hopefully be well versed in each part of the game play, know how to position yourself and know what shot to take, depending on what return you receive. We will play more serious games, where you will be challenged, as if it was in a tournament
Lesson 4-10We will continue with everything we have done so far, but gradually focus on putting spin on your hits in different ways. Top spin is crucial for a good serve and a good return, as well as making short “stop balls” from the baseline, making the opponent run very fast to have a chance.
We will also start practicing actual games, so you are fit for playing both doubles and singles.
Lesson 2-3We will continue practicing serves and keeping a flow and motion. We will also slowly start to practice “dinks”, which is where you are close to the net and are making small shots.
What you need to bringTheir own paddle and ideally an extra set of balls, just in case. Otherwise a towel, cap and plenty of water.
What I can bringI’ll bring outdoor balls and an extra paddle if needed be. I’ll be happy to bring additional energy drinks or bars if there is a special request for it.
