My 8 year old daughter looks forward to and loves her pickleball lessons with Coach Katherine. And she has improved her play in a short amount of time. I can’t recommend coach Katherine enough!

Very good! I appreciate Katherine, she did a great job teaching the rules, holding the bat, hitting and controlling the ball. I enjoyed the first lesson and I look forward to the next one.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonFirst we will focus on building a solid foundation with proper technique and mechanics. 1. Ball-ball hand eye coordination drills Before we pick up the paddle. we will play catch with the ball. Building muscle memory for low-high motion of the ball over the net. 2. Then we will learn ball-paddle and proper technique to dink the ball over the net. Keeping it low, front and forward over the net. This will give any beginner the confidence to now pick up the paddle and dink the ball over the net. 3. Proper paddle~ grip, position, pressure

Lesson 11+Game play and strategies to win more. More drilling with ball machine and analysis of specific shots to perfect them in game settings. Live ball competition and have fun playing. Focus on game coach and play.

Lesson 4-10Focus on drilling to build solid foundation for proper game play shots including dink, volley, block, drive, serve, return of serve and lob with use of ball machine. This allows 50% more repetition and drilling of different shots to improve your game on so many levels.

Lesson 2-3Focus on proper footwork at the kitchen “NVZ” 1. Lateral Movement 2. Safety Precautions to avoid injury 3. Skills to control the paddle 4. Practicing dinking and controlling the ball

Working with kidsI really enjoy working with children and teenagers who love to play Pickleball. We start with a simple and positive approach from the very beginning. E.A.E. E: Effort Always try your best and give it your best effort. A: Attitude Have a positive “I can do it” attitude E. Execute Just do it. Apply what you learn and execute By starting with a positive and motivating attitude,kids come out on the court with the right mindset to learn and be better each and every time. Let’s play Pickleball and have some fun!

What you need to bringPlease wear comfortable court shoes and plenty of water for hydration. Don’t forget your “I can do it” attitude and have some fun!
