Beginner Instruction Clinic | Get in the Game

Overview

The Beginner Instruction Clinic is built for brand new players and anyone ready to pick up a paddle and learn the game the right way.

Over six weeks, you'll build the foundational skills, court awareness, and confidence needed to step onto any court and play with purpose. No experience required — just a willingness to learn and have fun.

This is where your pickleball journey begins.

Performance Focus

Each session emphasizes:

• The rules, scoring, and basic gameplay

• Forehand and backhand groundstrokes from the baseline

• Serve and return fundamentals

• Introduction to the non-volley zone and kitchen line positioning

• Basic doubles movement, spacing, and communication

Every session is structured to keep you moving, learning, and enjoying the game from day one.

What You'll Develop

• A strong foundation in pickleball fundamentals

• Confidence rallying and competing in beginner play

• Clear understanding of court positioning and movement

• Comfortable serve and return mechanics

• The skills and knowledge to jump into Open Play and recreational formats

Who This Is For

Designed for complete beginners and new players looking for a structured, welcoming introduction to pickleball.

Ideal for anyone who has never played or has only picked up a paddle a handful of times and wants proper instruction in a fun, supportive environment.

If you are ready to get in the game, this is your starting point.
