Lessons:
We will be offering free lessons this season for beginners and novices only.
Beginner – a beginner is someone who has never played pickleball before , they are a clean slate, waiting to be taught the very basics of the game.
Novices – a novice is someone who might have come to open play once or twice, but is not comfortable playing with others yet. Perhaps they can hit the ball, but they don’t know anything about court position, and they don’t understand scoring yet.
These are the types of people we want to see at our training nights. If you have played pickleball in an organized game and have an understanding of court position and scoring, this would not be for you.
The philosophy of lessons is that you have to start beginners at the beginning, and teach the very basic first the sessions will begin with a few words about safety, like proper footwear, balls, entering the court, running backwards, etc. and point out the court lines such as sideline, baseline, centre line, NVZ line. The importance of warming up, however, we don’t teach warm-up drills at this session.
