IS THIS CLINIC FOR ME?
- These clinics are NOT for beginners or players ABOVE 3.5. (Classes for beginners will be offered again at a later date.)
- These clinics are designed for more advanced players looking to advance their knowledge of strategies for play.
- In these sessions we will go over detailed strategies in each portion and potential action in a "point of play" within pickleball.
- You will not have to participate in any particular session to benefit from the others.
- The sessions will include moving through form, playing out points, and discussing strategies in detail.
- These are group sessions. Individual training may need to be planned for later times in order for the whole group to work through all activities.
