Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn your first lesson, you'll learn basic techniques for hitting a groundstroke and serve, game strategy, court position, fundamental game terminology, and how to score. No prior sports experience is needed to enjoy the exciting game of pickleball. My main goal is for you to have fun and leave eager to play again!
Lesson 11+As we move forward with your lessons, we'll concentrate on mastering the first five key shots in the game, giving you the confidence and skills needed for both recreational and competitive play. As you progress, we'll introduce specialized shots to add more strategy to your game. Each lesson will be tailored to your unique needs and skill level, ensuring a personalized approach to your development.
Lesson 4-10As we progress through our lessons together, you'll be introduced to a variety of shots, including volleys, dinks, overhead smashes, drops/resets, and more! We'll build on your strengths and begin to turn any weaknesses into new strengths using fun drills. You'll have a solid skill set to enjoy recreational games and have a blast with other like-minded players!
Lesson 2-3In the next few lessons, we'll explore more aspects of the game, including shot selection from mid-court and close to the net. You'll begin to understand WHY you should hit certain shots and the importance of your position on the court to benefit you and your partner. You'll also begin to understand how to self-correct when you make errors rather than use self-criticism. Above all, we'll focus on helping you move safely on the court while ensuring you continue having fun!
