I really enjoyed the pickleball training series—it was easy to follow and built up my skills step by step. At first, I learned the basic rules, how to serve, and how to keep a rally going. As the lessons continued, I got better at moving on the court, hitting different shots like dinks and volleys, and working with a partner. By the end, I felt confident playing full games, using strategy, and even handling competitive situations. The drills and practice games were fun and helped me improve a lot without feeling overwhelmed.

Beginner training plan
Your first lesson In a beginner’s first lesson, players learn the basic court layout, rules (such as the underhand diagonal serve, double bounce rule, and the “kitchen” or non-volley zone), and practice serving and simple rallies with a partner. The focus is on control and consistency rather than power. After a light warm-up and an explanation of equipment and scoring (games go to 11, win by 2), players practice underhand serves and gentle rallies to build confidence and coordination.
Lesson 11+From lesson 11 onward, players transition from learning fundamentals to sharpening competitive skills and strategic play. Focus shifts to advanced shot techniques like spin serves, slice returns, and more precise third shot drops and drives. Players work on reading opponents, setting up points, and controlling the pace of rallies. Emphasis is placed on advanced doubles strategy—such as switching, stacking, poaching, and exploiting weaknesses—along with communication and positioning under pressure. Drills simulate match scenarios, helping players improve decision-making and mental toughness. Regular gameplay with feedback encourages adaptability and consistency. These sessions prepare players for recreational competition or entry-level tournaments.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 focus on refining technique, building strategy, and increasing confidence through more advanced drills and gameplay. Players improve their serve placement, develop consistent forehand and backhand groundstrokes, and practice third shot drops to transition effectively to the net. Volleys, overheads, and lob returns are introduced, along with footwork drills to improve reaction time and positioning. Players learn to recognize shot selection opportunities, communicate effectively with partners, and apply basic doubles strategies like stacking and court coverage. Each lesson includes targeted drills and mini-games to reinforce skills, with increasing emphasis on consistency, teamwork, and game-like scenarios. By lesson 10, players are ready for full games with scoring, strategy, and smart shot execution.
Lesson 2-3In lessons 2 and 3, players build on the basics by improving their serve consistency, learning return techniques, and developing soft shots like the dink. Lesson 2 focuses on returning serves with control, moving safely around the court, and understanding positioning in both singles and doubles. Lesson 3 introduces the dink shot — a soft, controlled shot into the kitchen — and emphasizes net play, communication with a partner, and court coverage. Players participate in simple drills and short games to apply what they’ve learned, with a focus on accuracy, footwork, and smart shot placement over power.
