Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will make sure that you know the basic rules and concepts about the game. I will evaluate your game and tell you what you do well and what we can do to improve your game. We will go over a few things and do them well, so as not to overload you or impede fundamental progress.
Lesson 2-3We will learn court positioning, playing with your partner, different shot styles, shot choices, paddle positioning, body mechanics, tactics, and more. Even from lesson number one, the lessons will be tailored to your needs as a player.
Lesson 4-10By now, you will have seen your game improve already! We will fine tune your skills, and I can teach you some tricky shots and/or body mechanics/deception. I will teach you about ball spin, including when and how to use it.
Lesson 11+A receptive student should be a much better player already, and I would love to test your skills against tough opponents in friendly games. I will give you some real-time feedback and suggestions concerning EVERYTHING about your game. Additionally, I will make suggestions concerning the mental parts of the game including focus, confidence(by now I will have instilled a great deal in you), staying within your personal strengths as a player, and not overthinking or becoming too fancy. At this point in your progression, you will be playing solid & consistent pickleball! Nobody will be able to pick on you as a player by targeting you, and if they try to, you will know how to make them regret it!
