Beginner training plan
Your first lessonLesson 1: Introduction & Basics
Goals: Get you comfortable with the court, paddle, and basic rules. Keep it fun.
• Quick intro: what is pickleball, court lines, scoring basics.
• Grip & paddle position (continental grip, ready stance).
• Dinking demo → practice dinking at the kitchen.
• Underhand serve intro → practice serving into the correct box.
• Play a few mini rallies (drop & dink).
• End with a short game to 5 points with lots of coaching
Lesson 11+Lessons 7–10: Game Play & Strategy
Goals: Teach strategy, shot selection, and mental game.
• Shot combinations (serve deep + move in, return deep + to Kitchen ).
• Partner communication (who takes middle, stacking if lefty/righty).
• Simple strategies (hit to backhand, aim at feet, dink cross-court).
• Defense → lob defense, resetting under pressure.
• Introduce offensive lobs & speed-ups at the kitchen.
• Lots of live play with guided feedback.
• Wrap up lesson 10 with a mini-tournament among students.
Lesson 4-10Goals: Give tools to play a full game with confidence.
• More depth on the third shot drop (when to use it, drop drills).
• Driving the 3rd shot → when a drive makes sense.
• Transition zone footwork (moving from baseline to Kitchen).
• Blocking volleys at the Kitchen → reset drills.
• Situational play (serve + point play, return + point play).
• Introduce stacking.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3: Core Foundation
Goals: Build consistency with serve, return, and dinking.
• Warm-up: cooperative dinking (straight ahead, then cross-court).
• Serve mechanics → focus on consistency over power.
• Return of serve → placement deep in the court.
• Court positioning (stacking not necessary yet, but teach transition to the kitchen).
• Introduce 3rd shot concepts (drop vs drive) lightly.
• Controlled rally drills (e.g., serve/return → rally at Kitchen).
