Equipment Needed
All you need are a good pair of athletic shoes, water bottle, towel, light snack and the willingness to learn and have fun.
Demo paddles and balls will be provided until you determine this is a sport/game you want to play on a more regular basis. In fact, I would suggest you don't buy a paddle right away as you may find yourself upgrading very soon.
Testimonials
"I just want to tell you the pickleball group that I play that you are now giving lessons to, say that out of all the instructors, you are the best...We are learning a lot. It also helps that we play together all the time so we can remind each other of what we've learned and try to bring that into the game." Karen M.
Why is pickleball great?
PIckleball is a game/sport that brings people of all age and skill levels together. It can be played socially and competitively. There is very little barrier to entry due to the fact you only need some shoes, a paddle, a ball, and access to courts.
