The fundamentals that actually move the needle. Small groups, focused reps, real progress.
Each clinic targets one skill. Weekly sessions. Max 10 players per group.
The serve is the only shot in pickleball you fully control. In this clinic, you'll build a consistent, legal serve with pace and placement so you stop giving away free points and start putting pressure on your opponent from the jump.
If you want to win more points, learn the third shot drop. This soft, arcing shot neutralizes your opponent's advantage and lets you move into the kitchen, where the game is really won. We'll build it from scratch with intentional, repetitive reps.
Pickleball is won and lost at the non-volley zone. Dinking is exchanging soft, controlled shots cross-court or straight ahead to create openings and stay patient under pressure. This clinic develops the touch, placement, and footwork to own the kitchen.
Most beginner mistakes aren't about shots. They're about where you are on the court. This clinic covers movement patterns, stacking basics, when to rush the net, and how to cover your half without giving your opponent easy angles. Play smarter without hitting harder.
When you're out of position or on the receiving end of a speed up, the reset is how you survive. A soft, low ball dropped back into the kitchen turns a defensive moment into a neutral one. This clinic builds the touch and composure to execute it under pressure.
At the intermediate level, you start seeing attackable balls. The question is whether you can do something with them. This clinic covers recognizing the right moment, generating pace from the kitchen, and rolling shots at the body to create unattackable situations for your opponent.
The lob is one of the most underused and misunderstood shots in pickleball. When to throw it, how to disguise it, how deep it needs to land, and how to track one down when it's hit over your head. This clinic covers all of it from both sides of the shot.
The space between the baseline and the kitchen line is where most intermediate points are lost. This clinic teaches you how to move through it with purpose, which balls to take out of the air, how to split step, and when to push forward vs. retreat and reset.
Two focused hours. One skill. Real instruction, real reps, and real game time to put it together.
Perfect starting point. These clinics assume zero prior experience. We'll teach you the rules, the lingo, and the fundamentals that give you a real foundation to build on. You don't need to know what a kitchen is when you show up. You will when you leave.
You've got the basics down but keep making the same mistakes. These clinics are designed to break those habits and replace them with intentional, coached technique. Small groups mean you get the individual feedback that group open play never gives you.
Open courts are great. But they don't make you better. If you're the kind of person who wants to understand the why behind what you're doing and actually see improvement over time, this is built for you.
