Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst of all, introduce myself; 2nd Warm up and stretch ; 3rd Introduce what’s Pickleball; 4th brief introduction of how to play and the rules.

Show them how to serve- let the students do the drills(1st day learn how to do top spin serve with forehand)
Lesson 11+Learn How to do forehand backspin serve (more difficult serve then topspin), learn how and when to use different skills. Where do you let the landed to make your opponent more difficulty to return your ball. I am sure after taking 20 lessons and if you practice not only at class, but also play with other players more often with the knowledge and skills I taught, your skill level can reach at least 2.5+

Then teach them how to play forehand drive and do drills. How to play volley at the kitchen line. Teach them how to play a game and the rules .

Lesson 2-3Practice serve, learn how to return the serve and do drills
Then practice serve and return the serve.
Explain why we have to learn dink, show them how to dink (forehand dink and backhand dink), do drills

Patience and encouragement are key, as i strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young players feel confident and excited to learn.
