This course is designed for the person who wants to learn the fundamentals of the fastest growing sport in America. Join in the fun led by Cori Frank and well-qualified instructors. The class will meet for 1.5 hours/day for five consecutive days. Beginning players will learn the basics: how to choose a paddle, paddle position, serving, return of serve, dinking, drills, scoring, and calling “out balls.” There is an emphasis on safety and sportsmanship. OLLI will provide the equipment, and hopefully, we will enjoy good weather. Information on courts throughout the Rogue Valley will be provided as well as the use of the Playtime scheduler. You will need court shoes, a hat/visor, and a hydrating drink. Sunglasses/eye protection are recommended. Come for the fun and be prepared to meet new friends. We will meet at Lithia Park Pickleball courts.
