As a pingpong player transition into playing pickleball, Saurabh has been really helpful in teaching me footwork, paddle angles, and game strategy. His tailored drills bridged the gap between focusing on adapting spin control and improving court positioning. He is very patient and knowledgeable and has made the transition very engaging, effective and smooth.

As a new pickleball player, Saurabh made my learning experience fantastic! He explained the basics clearly, taught me proper techniques, and built my confidence on the court. His patience and encouragement made every session fun and motivating. I’ve enjoyed playing this game even more and have improved so much and can’t wait to keep learning!

Saurabh has been incredible in improving my dinking skills. He broke down techniques, emphasized consistency, and taught strategic placement. His patient, tailored approach made a huge difference. I’m now more confident in dink battles and can control the pace of the game better. Highly recommend him for pickleball improvements.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonA few things that I share are basic serves and dinks for control,
Footwork for minimal strain and
Kitchen line positioning basics along with some dynamic stretches, shadow swings, and light jogging and a cool down with Gentle stretches focusing on shoulders, wrists, and legs.
Lesson 11+These sessions would entail, high intensity, drills, like speed, and precision, working on endurance during longer games and getting them ready for tournaments.
Lesson 4-10These sessions would consist of advanced drinking patterns, cross court and straight things and serve and volley drills.
Point-play scenarios: this lesson also covers third shot drop under pressure, Offensive lobs and counters and
Matchplay tactics with focus on stacking, poaching, etc
Lesson 2-3Slow-paced volleys and net drills
Court movement strategies to reduce effort and Doubles positioning, we would then get into Drop shots with proper technique and Soft rally games while Balancing offense and defense. We would then dive into Serving placement for consistency followed by Practicing in pairs: Kitchen line play
Advanced training plan
Youth players
Working with kidsTo coach kids in Pickleball, I would create a fun, engaging environment using games and positive reinforcement. I would Focus on basic skills like grip, stance, and footwork with simple drills. I will Start slow with cooperative exercises, then gradually increase complexity, introducing shots like volleys and dinks. I will Teach teamwork and communication in doubles play, and encourage friendly competition. I will Use visual and physical cues to enhance learning, offering specific, constructive feedback. I shall Incorporate target drills and rally challenges to improve accuracy and rallying. I would end each session with a fun game or competition, ensuring kids feel confident, motivated, and part of the team.
What you need to bringThe students should bring their own paddles
What I can bringI would get the net and the practice balls.
