Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe goals for the first lesson are to just understand the basics of the game. We’ll go over rules, scoring, etc., and then start with the basic strategies of dinking, dropping, serving and returning.
Lesson 2-3We will go over the basic strategies of getting to the kitchen, third shot drops, punch volleys, ground strokes, lobs, and overheads. You will be more than equipped to go play a game even if you’ve never picked up a paddle before!
Lesson 4-10The player will have a good understanding of the fundamentals and will be able to practice more double strategy and how to effectively set up points, attacking, and resets.
Lesson 11+These will be more advanced and can work on specific shots, such as flicks, top spin rolls, and play drilling games like 7-11 and skinny singles. We can shore up areas needed for improvement and continue to get more consistent to be able to dominate your next Pickleball game!
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonAfter warm-up, we typically play a game of skinny singles to see where the player is at and what needs improvement.
Lesson 2-3These are really player dependent – an advanced player will have some idea of what they need to work on, but will be able to coach them up and work on areas needed for improvement.
