NEW CLASS - Player Confidence
A new class to give C/B Players the knowledge and talents to play with greater ease and confidence, has been added to every other Monday. Please see the Den to sign up.
GET PAST FOUR CLINIC
Getting past the first four shots in a pickleball rally is a great metric and can help you focus on things you need to work on to improve. The clinic is based on the top-down FOSS approach:
FRAMEWORK of the game;
OBJECTIVES when on the serve and return side;
STRATEGIES to employ; and
what SHOTS to hit and where to hit them.
If you want to take your game to another level, sign up for the GP4 Clinic on Wednesdays at 1PM.
SKILLS AND DRILLS
You've been playing PB for a while. You can serve, return, and volley a little. What's next?
At Skills and Drills you can improve your game by practicing:
- touch
- placement
- court positioning
- strategy
Come give it a try! Sundays 1-3 PM. Sign up on the Den.
