For beginner players Ages 9-12 

​Our Academy sessions are the next level for young players who have already gained confidence in the introductory skills of pickleball. Still a beginner in this age range? We have a spot for the beginners as well. Each player will be placed in appropriate groups based on experience, age and ability. The program provides young players an opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge of the game. Beginner Players will be trained in the basic fundamentals of the sport: basic eye-hand coordination, footwork, paddle grip/skills, rules and scoring while progressing into serving, service return, shot placement and more.. For the more experienced players, we will focus on basic skills as well as teach strategies, positioning, shot selection and work on match play. Participants will be introduced to the next level of the game with our enthusiastic coaches in a positive, fun, learning environment
