Beginner Training

Beginner lessons are designed to advance new players to novice players and quickly advance to game play.

Pickleball, similar to other sports, uses a rating system for identifying players at different skill levels. Enjoyment is maximized if you are able to play with others at a similar yet still challenging skill level.

Beginners start at level 1.0 and proceed through 2.5

Intermediate players are at levels 3.0-3.5

Advanced players 4.0+

2024-25

The first beginner lesson is on Monday November 18, 2024 from 1-3 pm.  Registration is required. You will receive an invitation to register for lessons once you have registered for the club.

Lessons take place from November through March with breaks for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  

Following attendance at the first on-court session the brand-new player progresses to 1.5 level, the quickest rating progression you will ever make!

The following elements are required to progress to the 2.0 lessons.  They are designed to allow you to acquire the skills necessary to meet the expectations for progression as identified in the self-assessment. 

1.  Monday- on-court introductory session

2.  Blog post series - prior to first practice/play session

3.  One of practice/play sessions (Wednesday or Thursday)

4.  On-court round robin

Generally, all elements are completed within a one week period.
