How an Adult Pickleball Clinic Works

Five weeks, one session a week, the same group and the same coach every time.

Each session is half instruction and half play. You drill one or two skills with rotating partners, then play games that put them to use.

Clinics are grouped by level, not age, and are open to the public. You do not need to live in the town or belong to a club. Bring your paddle and sneakers.
