Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson I start with the fundamentals of pickleball. I help students have the right grip and ready position and we also talk about safety. Then I teach all the basic shots: dinks, volleys, drives and serves.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ I continue to drill playersβ weak shots while also capitalizing on their strengths. I combine drills and game play and also add tournament strategies to enable my students to compete competitively.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 I work on more advanced shots and drills like Erneβs, ATPs and fast hand speed battles.
Lesson 2-3If I have 4 students I offer 2 hour lessons where we spend the first hour fifteen doing drills to develop basic skills, then the last 45 minutes we play games working on strategy. I watch players to ascertain what shots we need to work on next.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWith advanced players the first lesson is about assessment, what their goals are for competitive play and what they want to improve.
Lesson 11+In lessons 11+ I watch them play competitively to ascertain what areas of the game they need to strengthen and design drills in game like settings.
