Beginner Pickleball Clinics

Never played? Perfect. Most people at our beginner clinics have never picked up a paddle.

You learn the rules that matter, how to serve, the dink and the drive, and how the kitchen line works. Then you play real points on day one.

Clinics are grouped by level, so you play with people close to your speed. Over 55? See our daytime clinics and 55+ programs.

What to bring: your paddle, sneakers, and comfortable clothes. You do not need a partner.
