What you need to bringCourt shoes/cross trainers/anything with good lateral support, water/hydration, and sunblock.
What I can bringI supply a wide range of high-quality Selkirk paddles so students can try out current paddles at five different levels of performance as well as the new Owl “quiet” paddle so students can experience the cutting edge of “lower noise level” pickleball play.
I also supply high-quality outdoor pickleballs as well as bi-color pickleballs (for teaching spin) and the new Gamma “quiet” pickleballs so students can see how they play since some pickleball courts may start requiring them in the future due to noise issues.
I have mini-nets for teaching dinking in smaller spaces (need a 10’x20’ space) and full size nets for anywhere you’ve got a 25’x60’ space (large driveways, cul de sacs, etc).
