Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI introduce myself and teach the student the basics of pickleball, including the simplest way to play and the main rules. My goal is to make the lesson fun and help the student fall in love with the sport.
Lesson 2-3I focus on forehands, backhands, and body-weight transfer. These fundamentals help the student understand each stroke and learn how to position and move their body correctly.
Lesson 4-10I combine forehands and backhands with footwork and weight transfer. The student learns to move forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally in an asterisk-shaped movement pattern. Also I will introduce the kitchen, volleys, technical skills, directional control, and basic game situations.
Lesson 11+I focus on realistic game situations and longer rallies. The student learns to combine different shots, such as a down-the-line forehand followed by a dink, instead of practicing each stroke separately. Every lesson includes rallying, but at this stage it becomes more competitive and game-focused.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonI begin by rallying with the player to evaluate their technique and identify areas that can be improved, including forehands, backhands, volleys, and performance in realistic game situations.
Lesson 2-3I use tactical rally drills and place cones as targets to improve ball placement and control. I also create realistic game situations that combine volleys, dinks, drives, and directional shots.
Lesson 4-10I continue developing the technical and tactical skills while gradually adding physical conditioning. An advanced player must develop technically, tactically, and physically to improve their overall performance.
Lesson 11+I create complete game situations that combine technical, tactical, physical, and mental training. We play points with the student starting behind in the score to practice handling pressure and making a comeback. I also give them a lead so they can learn how to close out games. We use reduced-court drills, especially in the kitchen, to improve precision, decision-making, and ball placement.
Youth players
Working with kidsI focus on developing their fundamental motor skills, including movement, reflexes, and coordination. Most importantly, I make every lesson fun and engaging.
Working with teenagersI first evaluate their athletic background and the sports they practiced during childhood. If they already have good movement and coordination, I focus on adapting those abilities to proper pickleball technique and helping them understand the game. On the court, I combine technical and tactical training with physical conditioning and mental development, as all these areas are essential for a player’s growth.
What you need to bringPlease bring comfortable athletic clothing, court shoes, a water bottle, and your pickleball paddle if you have one. Most importantly, come ready to learn, work hard, and have fun on the court
What I can bringI provide pickleballs, cones, and training aids needed for drills and exercises. Players are encouraged to bring their own paddle
