Your first lessonQuick conversation of what you were looking to get out of this initial lesson. We will discuss an assess your sports and athletic background. We will start to play pickleball immediately. If not familiar with the game, we’ll begin to go over many of the basic rules start discussing the general concepts of dinking, serving and begin to work on the various shots throughout a Pickleball game. We will also discuss how to keep score in a game.
Lesson 2-3We will finish the discussion on the basic rules of the game. We will work on hand/eye coordination drills. We’ll discuss and work on getting comfortable with the different basic types of shots (dinking, drives, resets and lobs) to hit in the game of Pickleball. We’ll start a variety of drills to help improve your skills at each of these shots. I will also initiate some concepts of strategy during gameplay. This will allow you to understand the “why“ behind hitting the ball at certain places on the court throughout different stages of the game. We will also start diving deeper into the game itself as well as the do’s and don’ts of serving. We will work on readiness, positioning and shot selection.
Lesson 4-10Here is where we hope to discuss more strategies and concepts of the game. We will get deeper into positioning and shot selection. We will then work on a number of drills to get even more comfortable and to start building your skills. I will start customizing the drills to what you specifically need to improve upon and fine-tune.
Lesson 11+Here we will start to work on more complicated drills to further enhance your game and even more detailed customization of what you need to get to the next level.
