Youth players
Working with teenagersI have some experience coaching youth at YYC Pickleball-All s
Sports Day and the Salvation Army Resource Center after school program. The key elements include having a lot of fun, making contact with the ball and increasing confidence and overall skill level and basic strategies on the court. I like to stress cooperative drills and activities with youth to make sure they get maximum and contact with the ball and others.
