Have Fun Learning Pickleball!
Beginner & Advanced Beginner Clinics

We’re offering a series of four one-hour clinics (lessons) focused on teaching and developing skills and in-game strategies through drills and game playing. (Sessions are limited to 8 participants, with a minimum of 4 participants). These clinics run for four weeks and are one hour per week.

Beginner This clinic is best suited for the never- ever played or the only tried playing with a friend. The clinic will cover the basics of the game- safety, grip, paddle positioning, dinking, serve/return, drop shot, game playing with scoring.

Advanced Beginner This clinic is best suited for the person who has only played a few times and feel like they are beginning to understand the game but would like to make sure they are doing it right. The objective of this clinic is to assist the participants with drills to improve their foundational skills and teamwork through court positioning.
