Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will run through the basic shots of pickleball: dinks, drives, and drops. We will start with the one that needs the most work and dial it in!
Lesson 2-3If there is something specific you want to work on, we can do that. If not, we’ll continue to drive, dink and drop until you can hit them consistently.
Lesson 4-10Based on your weak and strong points, we will start the mission of bringing your skill up at LEAST 0.5 in DUPR rating. I’ll tailor the lessons to fit your game, and give you strategy homework to employ in your open play games!
Lesson 11+Continue helping you get better and better!

    About your pickleball coach

    My name is Zach Tone and I just graduated from San Diego State University! I was the president of the pickleball club there for 3 years, and played competitively in collegiate tournaments around the country. I have taught over 100 students the sport, and I have a passion for helping people get better. I also work with the National Collegiate Pickleball Association in order to find high quality coaches for junior leagues!

    Great coach. I’m brand new before the lesson. After 3 lesson I’m so confident now. Very encouraging, very patient. Thank you 🙏

    I am currently a client of Zach’s. He cares so much about his students and truly wants the best for them. He goes above and beyond what is expected!

    I just started playing a couple months ago, and I’m hooked. I’m friends with Zach’s mom, and she told me to take a couple lessons with him. Let me tell you he is so caring and passionate about helping others get better. He makes the lessons fun, and my game has gotten better already!

    Zach is amazing! He taught me how to hit a two handed backhand, which improved my game so much!

    When I came to the SDSU Pickleball Club practice, Zach gave my friends and I a lesson on how to play, and gave us some useful strategies for beginners! He was very patient with us because none of us had played before, and he outlined the rules very clearly. I highly recommend!

    Since Zach is left handed, I asked him to give some pointers for specifically lefties, and he did a great job. There are so many things you have to think about as a lefty, and he helped me adapt the right mindset.
