Pickleball lessons near me in Chicago, IL

Initial lesson is an assessment to test the ability of the player. I’ll put them through scenarios likely to be encountered in play and gauge their ability to respond to each. From that assessment I’ll devise a coaching plan that we’ll follow of the course of the next group of lessons.

Assessment of skills and what I feel you should work on with what you think you need to work on

You don't need to bring anything! I supply nets, balls, and paddles for up to 4 players!

No prep needed! Before our first lesson, I will talk through your experience, expectations, and goals. Once we’re booked through the app, I will message you to confirm.

First and foremost, bring water! We’ll be moving so it’s important to stay hydrated as to avoid cramps and dehydration. I as for clothing, I suggest to wear active clothes that don’t restrict movement, and have a good pair of running/tennis shoes that you trust. More often than not it may be hot out. And sunny, too if we’re playing during the day! It wouldn’t hurt to have a towel, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc as backup.

Keeping it fun. Finding ways they can play with their parents as soon as possible.

For the younger crowd I like to incorporate video demonstrations to help them visually understand the process of pickleball. I also provide pros to use to guide their learning.
