Youth

Our youth lessons are designed for youth as young as 8 years old. The lesson objectives are to introduce the youth to the skills necessary to play Pickleball. Our activities will focus on proper movement abilities while giving an overview of the game's fundamentals, rules, and etiquette. With the very young players, activities will also include teaching appropriate movement skills, plus being able to serve and return the ball.

Adult

Our beginner lessons are perfect for anyone new to Pickleball or still getting the basic skills down. Participants will learn and work on their physical movements across the court. Additionally, participants will develop skill sets focusing on Serves, Returns, and Scoring.

INTERMEDIATE - Designed for players ranked 2.5 to 3.5 in their skill level
Those who have mastered the basic skills of Pickleball and are ready to improve their fundamental skills should consider our more challenging lessons.
