Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst, I would try to break the ice a bit. Get to know them, introduce myself, etc. Then I would get into the rules of pickleball and simple basics like how to get the ball over the net from the kitchen line.
Lesson 2-3Teach them how to serve and how to make contact with the ball to be able to get it over the net from the baseline so that they will be able to play a real game of pickleball.
Lesson 4-10We will now get in depth on the basics of a forehand and a backhand with things like grip, swing, finish, etc.
Lesson 11+Finally, we will introduce other shots like dinks, returns and drops so they will finally be able to join in on rec games without any fear!
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFirst, assess all the shots that the player can hit and see any major flaws. I would avoid making any major changes like grip changes and focus on quick and easy adjustments first.
Lesson 2-3After being able to improve on the player’s game, we will start getting into the major changes like if a person’s grip is hindering their gameplay.
Lesson 4-10
