Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is getting Comfortable on the court. We work on hand eye coordination, positioning, footwork, learning how to score, and feeling comfortable hitting the ball back-and-forth.
Lesson 2-3I always work with my students reinforcing what I did the lesson before. Lesson two and three we will add on more specific targets when hitting, returning, and serving the ball.
Lesson 4-10Lessons four through 10. We will begin playing and scoring getting the feel of how it is utilizing the lessons I’ve taught previously in a game session. We will start to work on strategy so you understand where to position yourself and also the ball.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11 and on, we will work towards tournament play. Reinforcing all the previous lessons and getting comfortable, driving the ball and placing it strategically. This is where we really get into mindset training on the court, making sure that every shot we take is a brand new one. Mindset training is going to be the most important when you get advanced. This is how we win Pickelball.

Youth players
Working with kidsI design every pickleball lesson with youth players in mind, because kids learn differently than adults and they need structure, movement, and confidence first. You will see shorter drills, fast rotations, and games that keep energy high so no one stands still for long. I break skills into small steps, footwork first, paddle control second, then strategy, so players build strong habits from day one instead of fixing mistakes later. You get clear goals each session, simple language, and positive coaching that helps kids feel safe to try, fail, and improve. I also weave in teamwork, communication, and leadership so your child grows on and off the court. The result is focused training that develops real technique, stronger mindset, and a love for the game that keeps them coming back.

Working with teenagersWhen I coach teenagers, I treat them like emerging athletes with real goals and real potential. I raise the standard and teach with purpose, so every drill connects to match play, decision making, and performance under pressure. You will see higher intensity reps, live point scenarios, and competitive challenges that build speed, strength, and confidence. I focus on clean technique, smart shot selection, and court awareness so players learn how to think, not just react. I also coach mindset, accountability, and leadership, because teens need ownership of their progress. Each session includes measurable goals and feedback so they know exactly what to improve. You get training that prepares them for tournaments, school teams, and the next level, while helping them grow into disciplined, resilient young adults.

What you need to bringGood footwear, protective eyewear, your own paddle. Water bottle and a great attitude for a great time on the courts!

What I can bringI bring balls and cones for running drills. I also have professional paddles to play with.

Kevin K.Verified āœ“
Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 6•Verified āœ“
This lesson was helpful, especially since Jessica took the time to simplify topspin movements which I’d been struggling with. She was very patient as I learned to use it more effectively. I still need work to become more consistent with my shots but I definitely feel more confident about hitting topspin at different areas on the court.
Yarines M.Verified āœ“
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 5•Verified āœ“
The lesson was quite helpful in reinforcing my muscle memory and trying out new techniques, which I find pretty useful for improving my game. Jessica’s guidance on specific movements , though I still need to work on my low balls at the kitchen , really made a difference. I liked the focus on developing better technique, and I’m hopeful I can build on this in future lessons.
