Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEvery player starts somewhere—and my goal in your first lesson is simple: make pickleball fun, approachable, and unintimidating while building a strong foundation. I focus on fundamentals, movement, and confidence first—no overwhelm, no jargon overload. Lessons are tailored to your athletic background, coordination level, and goals, so you progress at a pace that feels challenging but achievable.
Your first lesson is all about getting comfortable on the court. We’ll cover basic rules, scoring, court positioning, and essential strokes like the serve, return, and simple rallies. You’ll learn how to hold the paddle correctly, make clean contact with the ball, and move safely and efficiently. By the end of Lesson 1, most beginners are surprised by how quickly they’re rallying and having fun.
Lesson 11+Once the fundamentals are solid, lessons become more personalized and performance-focused. We refine technique, add advanced strategy, and work on shot variety, placement, and consistency. Whether your goal is competitive play, league success, or simply playing better pickleball with less effort, lessons are designed to help you keep improving while enjoying the game for years to come.
Lesson 4-10This is where your game really starts to take shape. Lessons focus on improving control, footwork, and confidence under pressure. You’ll learn dinking, volleys, third-shot concepts, and how to transition from baseline to net effectively. Strategy becomes a bigger focus—reading opponents, reducing unforced errors, and making smarter decisions during rallies. Players in this phase often feel ready for open play and recreational games with confidence.
