"I have been working with the FXW School for the past two years to introduce and develop pickleball for their junior players. We consistently see a fantastic turnout, with up to 20 kids participating per session. While the students generally start as beginners, many are incredibly fast learners. We focus on blending skill-building with fun games, and after just a few sessions each term, the players successfully transition into competitive match play. It continues to be a highly successful program, and I look forward to getting them back on the court for the next session.
I have been a certified Tennis Professional for the past 30 years. I have been playing Pickleball for more than 10 years. I became certified to teach pickleball for 2 plus years now. I have been enjoying it and helping people learn the game. I have been teaching all age groups from middle school to senior citizens. I’ve enjoyed watching my tennis students achieve many goals and now we’re doing it for Pickleball players.

They should bring comfortable athletic clothing, water bottles to stay hydrated, and any personal paddles or gear they might have. It's also helpful if they wear tennis shoes for good traction on the court.

Every student should bring your paddle, wear the proper shoes, water or favorite liquid and a towel. Running shoes are not good for this sport because they do not provide the proper lateral stability, support and maneuverability like all-court shoes do. Also running shoes may stick on the surface and cause you to fall. I highly reccoment all-court tennis or pickleball shoes. They are made specifically for these court conditions.

When working with kids, I’d adapt lessons by focusing on fun, engagement, and simplicity. Here’s how: Shorter activities: Break lessons into smaller, easy-to-follow drills to keep their attention. Games-based learning: Use more games and playful challenges to teach skills, like relay races or hitting targets. Positive reinforcement: Offer lots of encouragement and praise to build confidence and enjoyment. Adjust expectations: Focus more on participation and gradual improvement rather than perfection. I’d also emphasize teamwork, keep instructions simple, and incorporate breaks for variety and fun.
