What you need to bringAll you need to bring to my lessons is your enthusiasm and a pickleball paddle. If you don't have a paddle yet, don't worryβ€”I can provide one for you to use during our session. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and shoes suitable for indoor or outdoor play, depending on the venue. Bring along a water bottle to stay hydrated, and be ready to enjoy learning and improving your pickleball skills in a supportive and fun environment.
