INTRODUCTION TO PICKLEBALL CLINICS

Ready to join in on the fun of Pickleball?

​

Introduction to Pickleball is a two-hour beginner program that is ideal for players brand new to this sport or for those who have only been playing for a short while.  This clinic is not intended for anyone with a skill level 2.5 or above. 

​

CLINIC CONTENT: You will learn the basic fundamentals such as how to hold the paddle, the difference between an outside and indoor ball, court lines, rules, pickleball terminology, basic shots, dinking, serving, positioning and scoring.  You will be able to play some practice mini games to incorporate what you learned along with attempting court strategy.

 

COST: $25 per attendee. Payable at the time of your online registration. (RPSI Members get a $5 discount by using the discount code sent to your email!) No refunds/credits - so please review the RAIN DATE for the clinic you are registering for if it is at the outdoor courts.

​​

SPACE: Limited to the first 12 individuals that register/pay (per clinic).  We will reserve 3 courts for this event. Each court will have 1-2 instructors.  No walk-ins.  Each participant must register individually due to the waiver confirmation required. If you are attending with a spouse/friend, please notate it in the additional comments section at the end of the registration form.  When registering, if the class says “not available” it is sold out.  Please choose another date.
