This course might be for you if you are interested in improving your talent and skills on the court. Class will be instructed by Kurt Ballak. I am certified as a Pickleball instructor through PPR training, which is associated with USAPA. You will be instructed on many of the basic tactical decisions and skills needed to improve your game in doubles pickleball team format. You will learn how proper footwork improves your ability to make your returns consistently, you will learn some balance techniques and tools to improve your agility on the court. We will cover many fundamentals for dinking mechanics to improve your consistency at the NVZ. We will train on making 3rd shot drops, resets, and train on backhand footwork and fundamentals. Participants will practice some serving and receiving strategies, go over proper court positioning during play. This is called shifting/shading on the court. Participants will go over the “X” pattern and how it factors in decision making on the court to determine who plays the ball in a rally. You will have the opportunity to work on some special footwork fundamentals, such as the split step, and fine tune the ready position. We will work on player movement on the court, shifting/pinching movement and go over why it is so important during game play. Participants will train on when to decide and transition from the baseline to the NVZ as the serving team during a rally and learn when and how to make that decision based on the situation on the court. We will also cover lobs and how to work as a team to cover this return. You will also learn about stacking and its purpose and why you may use it on the court with a teammate.

This class is for intermediate/advanced pickleball players and is not recommended for beginners, Participants should have at least 6 months of playing experience, understand all the rules of the game, and participants should be at or above skill level of 3.0+ to attend. Proper court shoes are required. Participants should prepare themselves and stretch prior to attending and provide their own paddle. We also suggest eyewear protection.

No previous knowledge of tennis is necessary. Classes will consist of teaching fundamentals of tennis and then playing fun games and modified games using the fundamental principles of tennis that were taught. Then we will move into scorekeeping with individual tournament matches and doubles tournament matches. New and retuning students are welcome. Our focus is to take each individual student’s skills to the next level under the guidance of an experienced coach.
