Paddle Up! Pickleball Basics

New to pickleball? We’ll get you playing fast. You’ll learn grips, footwork, scoring, and all the essential rules, then build confidence with fun, coach-led drills covering serves, dinking, volleys, and game strategy. 

Small group sizes mean plenty of feedback and game time to put your skills into action.

We recommend bringing your own paddle if you have one, but the coach will have extras for anyone who needs to borrow. No experience required—just show up ready to learn and play.
