Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduction to the basics of Pickleball (simplified explanation). e.g. rules, scoring, and equipment. Well discover fundamental skills such as grip, stance, and really simple strokes as we get you started off in the right foot.
Lesson 11+At this stage we will work on incorporating all the strategies and techniques learned from the previous lessons. With that you will be out to the test with some gameplay that is guided of course. We will se what you've learned in this stage. You will learn some more advanced shots like lobs, spins, back slices, and fine tune the overall aspect and game performance to get you ready and confident for competitive play.
Lesson 4-10In this area I always like to refresh and redo most drills with shorter time duration. Then cone drills at kitchen to, transition zone and also shading system. This is moving as one with partner. We will also focus on shot placements and accuracy. We will also look at some key strategies for single or doubles play. As we progress we can work on volleys sinks and tactical strategies to promote confidence and effectiveness in your game.
Lesson 2-3Here we will revisit and continue to build on your initial and refine the forehand and backhand strokes and work on serving consistency. Then we will take a look at court position and some easy to learn footwork that will help to enhance your game.

Youth players
Working with kidsAs I worked with kids in other sports there were some things that I wanted to do that made sense for them but also engagingly fun as well. We will definitely focus on building strong foundational skills and aspects. The drills and exercises will be age appropriate that helps to keep the energy levels at a high. The key to accomplishing this is with Patience and encouragements.
Working with teenagersAs I work with teenagers the skills and exercises are more advanced but yet still age appropriate. I will adapt my lessons to the skill level and social aspects the will appeal to this age group. The drills and techniques as I mentioned will be more advanced. But at the same time fostering a supportive and collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and peer learning. The teens will mature in skills and confidence while focusing on physical fitness and strategies. They will step into gameplay ready and equipped to showcase their abilities and capabilities. They will also be more creative with their gameplay and their abilities.
What you need to bringWilling hearts and awesome attitude. Also, if equipment is available then yes bring them. Proper attire is a must as well.
What I can bringNets, balls, Ball carts, cones, and Paddles.
