Beginner Training Plan
Your first lesson
Going over the format of pickleball, how it’s played, and the rules behind the sport. We dive deep talking about the parts of the court and scoring system.
Lesson 2-3
Basic strategy for running through a game, includes both doubles and singles formats. We also begin with hitting around to develop basic hand-eye coordination.
Lesson 4-10
These lessons are all about fine-tuning the essential aspects of playing pickleball. Specific drills we’ll focus on involve forward, backward, and lateral movement as well as fundamentals of serving.
Lesson 11+
Following sessions will include specific drills based on my students’ needs. Around this time is when I will start to put my students into real game scenarios and teach them how to handle common plays.
What the Coach Provides
Pickleball paddles, pickleballs (indoor and outdoor)
What You Need to Bring
First and foremost, bring water! We’ll be moving so it’s important to stay hydrated as to avoid cramps and dehydration. I as for clothing, I suggest to wear active clothes that don’t restrict movement, and have a good pair of running/tennis shoes that you trust. More often than not it may be hot out. And sunny, too if we’re playing during the day! It wouldn’t hurt to have a towel, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc as backup.
