Instructional Pickleball Programs and Lessons at The Pickleball Club

101 - Rules & How to Play

Learn where to stand, how to score, and how to stay injury-free in pickleball. We will teach you all of the basic scoring rules required to play a game, including the 2-bounce rule, when you are allowed to stand in the kitchen, and how to back up safely.

102 - Groundstrokes + Serves + Returns

To get started, you’ll learn how to succeed from the baseline. We take you through the correct “ready position”, technique for forehands and backhands, serves, and returns. You’ll also learn basic strategies and where to position yourself before/after you hit your shots.

103 - Dinking

Most points are played at the kitchen line, so we’ll teach you to hit forehand and backhand dinks with the correct grip, technique, strategy, and movement.

104 - Punch and Drive Volleys

Volleys are hit out of the air, and are very fun when done properly. We’ll teach you the correct swing path, contact point, and where to aim to set yourself up for success.

Our XLR8 program focuses on the strategic development of your game. Structured across four weeks as building-block lessons from elite club instructors to increase your skill rating, individuals and teams can increase their court capabilities.
