October Pickleball Clinics
Beginner Clinic | $30.00 per clinic
10/24 | 10:00 - 11:30 am | Intro to Pickleball
Students will learn the basics including serving, dinking, scoring & rules. Stay on the court from 11-11:30 am for stay & play!
10/29 | 10:00 - 11:30 am | Serves & Returns
As the first shots of each rally, being able to serve and return successfully is key. Effective serving is important to set up the remainder of the rally, and the return of serve is a critical shot that can result in getting to the non-volley zone (NVZ) line where many points can be won. For this clinic, students will engage in drills to help achieve a consistent deep serve using different serve and receive options. Based on progress as a group, students will play challenging games designed to put their new skills to use. Stay on the court from 11-11:30 am for stay & play!
Intermediate/Advanced Clinic | $30.00 per clinic
10/11 | 10:00 - 11:30 am | Non-Volley Zone Clinic & Handling Bangers
This clinic focuses on techniques needed to control the Non-Volley Zone (NVZ), also known as the kitchen, and opponents who bang the ball consistently. You'll learn techniques to execute volleys and drop shots with purpose and success. We’ll also focus on how to control drives coming from your opponent. Drills and play are set to improve the player's ability to manage these important aspects of the game. Stay on the court from 11-11:30 am for stay & play!
10/30 | 10:00 - 11:30 am | Dinks & Drops
The dink and shot drops are strategic shots that can help improve the player’s game and enjoyment of the sport. During this clinic, students will learn how and when to use these shots, and the techniques needed to master them. Improving a player’s ability to execute these shots will result in success at higher levels of play. The clinic includes drills and games to reinforce learning with time allowed for game situations as well. Stay on the court from 11-11:30 am for stay & play!
