Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is a very basic lesson. We will get to know the lay of the court and the rules of the game. We’ll go over how scoring works (it can get confusing) and we’ll get to know our paddle and how to best grip your paddle because it is an extension of our hand.
With your consent, I can record our sessions with an app called Swingvision. An app specifically for pickleball and tennis. The video(s) will be uploaded into my public account where anyone with a Swingvision account can watch and download their video(s). I can also use this film with you to go over your game.
Lesson 11+You’ve made it this far so you must really love the game, huh? This is the best part of learning. At this point, we will dive deeper into pickleball concepts, strategies, and hone in on what you feel that you need to improve on during our session. These later lessons are going to be more intense where we’re including some high intensity drilling sessions, singles matches, and doubles matches in order for you to put what you’ve been learning in a live situation.
Lesson 4-10As we progress, we will start to work on your soft game and your power game. When to play soft and when to attack. You will learn how to be disciplined on the NVZ or the kitchen line while dinking. Meaning that you will be patient and conditioned to wait for that very perfect ball to come your way.
Lesson 2-3Moving forward, we will learn how to serve (there are a couple ways to serve) and we will make sure that you understand what you can and cannot do while serving because the only way to score a point is to be serving so serving is very important.
We will also go over returning, positioning, anticipation and start to dive into some pattern recognition. The best players in the world already know what their next shot is or what their next two shots are going to be because of patterns.
