"The lesson with Shaun was quite helpful, especially in terms of providing a great overall experience. Though I think better control during practice would really help solidify skills, I appreciated the laid-back approach that made learning accessible. If improvements are made on control, I’d feel even more confident moving forward. Still, I’d encourage others to give Shaun a try if they’re looking to get a steady start with pickleball lessons.

Coach Gael

Adapting pickleball coaching to kids requires focusing on engagement, simplicity, and fun while teaching the fundamentals. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Simplify the Rules: Kids can get overwhelmed by too much information, so I break down the rules into simple, easy-to-remember points, emphasizing the basics like serving, rallying, and scoring. 2. Use Kid-Friendly Equipment: I incorporate lightweight paddles and lower nets to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for younger players. 3. Interactive Drills: I design drills that feel more like games, such as target practice or rally challenges, to keep them motivated and excited about learning. 4. Encourage Teamwork: Pairing kids up for doubles matches or group drills fosters cooperation and builds social skills while they learn. 5. Positive Reinforcement: I focus on celebrating small victories, like a well-executed serve or rally, to build confidence and enthusiasm for the game. 6. Short Sessions: Kids have shorter attention spans, so I keep sessions brief and energetic to maximize engagement. By creating a fun and supportive environment, I ensure kids develop skills while fostering a love for pickleball.
