This course is designed for students who have taken the Absolute Beginners Pickleball class or who have a rudimentary knowledge of the game. It will be taught by seasoned instructors/advanced players. Expect to build on the basic game to include advanced strategy in play. We will meet at Lithia Park pickleball courts every day for five consecutive days for 1.5 hours. There will be an emphasis on safety and sportsmanship. This skills-building class will focus on different types of serves; lobs; third shot drops; drives; partner communication; stacking; rally scoring; and identifying Bert, Ernie, and Nasty Nelson! The last day will be a FUN round robin match whereby we will rotate play with all players.
NOTE: Students are expected to have their own paddle, know the basic game (e.g. the rules), court position, scoring, basic serve, return of serve, NVZ, safety and sportsmanship. You will need court shoes, a hat/visor, and a hydrating drink. Eye protection is recommended. A waiver must be signed prior to beginning class.
