Overall course instruction will help Beginner to Low Intermediate players learn or improve their mechanics, fundamentals, consistency, and strategy/game play. Instruction will include focus on 4 key areas of pickleball: serving, transitions, returns and dinks/NVZ play, as well as basic strategy/game situation. Classes will start with a dynamic warm-up, continue with progressive drills on the area of focus of the session, then competitive modified games, and finally game play with coach feedback. There will be 1 instructor for every 4 participants to ensure highly personalized attention. PPR certified instructors Paul Pasquarosa and Brad Singer will teach the Beginner clinic.  PPR certified instructors Mina McCarron and Brad Singer will teach Advanced Beginner and Intermediate clinics.
