Week 1 - Pickleball Fundamentals:

The first step in this grand journey! In Week 1, we'll be diving into the basics. Grip that paddle like it's your ticket to pickleball paradise! We'll cover the sweet science of serving, introduce you to the kitchen (no, not the cooking kind), and teach you to move around the court like a dancing cucumber.

Week 2 - Dink It Like It's Hot:

Welcome to Week 2, where we explore the art of the dink. It's not just a cute word, my friend – it's a strategy! Get ready to finesse your shots, control the pace, and leave your opponents feeling like they're trying to catch a slippery eel.

Week 3 - Smash and Dash:

Week 3 is here, and we're cranking up the energy! It's time to unleash the beast – the smash. Channel your inner power and let those balls fly! But remember, it's not all strength – we'll also fine-tune your footwork so you're dashing around the court like a well-dressed pickleball ninja.

Week 4 - Mind Games and Strategy:

Now we're getting tactical! Week 4 is all about the mind games. We'll explore strategies, mind-boggling angles, and deceptive shots that will leave your opponents scratching their heads. It's like a mental chess match but with more giggles and fewer knights.

Week 5 - The Grand Rally Finale:

Ah, the grand finale! In Week 5, we're putting it all together. You've got the basics, the finesse, the power, and the strategy. Now it's time to rally like there's no tomorrow. We'll practice long rallies, quick reactions, and celebrate your newfound pickleball prowess!

Week 6- Tournament and Awards

Play in a mini tournament amongst your peers for a fun and competitive environment with an end of morning award ceremony and acknowledgment.
