Your first lessonI begin by understanding your experience level and goals and objectives related to pickleball. We focus on the fundamentals (grip, stance, contact point, positioning) and learn about proper technique for dinking, serving and returning, so you can begin playing from the 1st lesson.
Lesson 2-3We build off the basics and move on to cross-court dinking, speed-up's, volleying at the Non-Volley Line (kitchen), blocking, and scoring. We also review serving and ways to increase consistency and power.
Lesson 4-10We are working on improving forehand and backhand drives/returns. Learning how to execute drops (3rd Shot drops in particular), court positiLobs. In different situations, over-head smashes and lobs and defending those shots. Most importantly we play a lot of games and have fun.
Lesson 11+Learn how to hit spin shots and how to return them. We also learn how to handle circumstances when you or your partner is getting targeted (or picked on) during play and how to mitigate that. Mostly we play many games and drills to improve confidence and build muscle memory and consistency.
