Fabulous teacher. She really spends the time necessary to get the foundation right to prevent possible injuries and at the same time form correct body positioning. She films me which is a huge benefit as well.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonLet's discuss your goals for the sport then meet for an assessment of what you already know. We can go from holding the paddle right to the kitchen to learn the rules and start learning the fundamentals with dink work and drill basics. Sound basics for a mini pickle game and scoring begins here.
Lesson 11+Understanding more strategy and recognizing patterns. Finding and highlighting strengths, and improve deficiencies. Minimize errors and increase efficiency through compact play and staying calm. Drills for kitchen speed ups and resets, transitions and footwork. Consistency is the key.
Lesson 4-10Focus on first five shots in a game and provide some tactics and strategies to learn court position and footwork. 3 rd shot returns and drops. Customize drills for student skill level.
Lesson 2-3Practice what you will need to do most. Control the ball and further technical development of dinks and volleys from the kitchen. Drills for placement and creating un-attackable balls. Serves and Returns basics.
