Pickleball Lessons for Adults - Fall Classes
Pickleball lessons continue on our new courts this Fall!
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, and is suitable for players of all ages and skill levels. Our instructors will cover the basics of the game, including rules, scoring, serving, returning serves, and other strokes. Our goal is to equip you with safety information, stroke mechanics for control, and enough rules and etiquette to give you confidence for drop-in play.
Beginners Level One Our lessons are designed for beginners, who have never played before or novices, who may have played a little but are not comfortable playing with others yet.
Beginners Level Two Must have completed a beginner clinic or rated at 2.5 with knowledge of scoring and court positioning. This is for players who want to gain more confidence on the court and improve their overall pickleball experience. The program focuses on proper technique and mechanics in developing more consistency with shots like dinks, groundstrokes, volleys, serves and lobs. Game play is a large component of this clinic.
Coached Play- Up the River, Down the River For students that have taken a Beginner Level Two Clinic or are rated 2.75. Play for 12 minutes, the winning team moves up a court and splits and the losing team moves down a court and splits. During and between games get professional coaching, tips on technique and strategy. Also a great way to meet new players at your level!
Paddles and balls are available for use during the lessons. Each session meets once a week for 5 weeks. Classes are limited to eight students.
Please note: Only classes canceled due to weather will be rescheduled. If you are unable to attend a class, please note that make-ups in other sessions are not available.
