​Our player development curriculum and coaching approach are designed to enhance skills and strategies in accordance with individual skill levels. The player development classes aim to deliver foundational skills and strategy training at each stage. To enhance players' performance, we suggest engaging with training videos, practicing drills in groups and utilizing the club's ball machine for repetitive stroke practice. For those with a strong desire to expedite their progress, we highly recommend our Coaching for Courts Program which offers personalized and ongoing training.​

 

Novice A - Skill Building with Coaching:

This session is designed for members who have completed the Introduction To Pickleball class and would like to begin learning the various aspects of the game.  Novice A classes focus on teaching the serve, return of serve, 3rd shot options, groundstrokes, introduction to court positioning and a re-cap of scoring. An experienced instructor will be present on each court utilized for instruction. To participate, just register via Court Reserve.  If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Beth Kelly at 970-218-9470.  

 

Novice B - Play with Coaching:

Novice B continues to teach the remaining basic aspects of the game including dinking, volleying, overheads, lobbing, player tethering, court positioning and game strategy.  After completing Novice A and Novice B instruction, players will have a comprehensive understanding of the game.  Drilling exercises are then provided to our players to give them the tools to help develop various skills needed to progressively improve performance.  At the conclusion of Novice B, the lead instructor will provide an initial club rating to the participants.  This rating can be utilized for club events.  Some examples of club events may include:  Round Robins, Team Challenges, Major League Pickleball (MLP) and Skills & Strategies.  To participate in Novice B instruction, just register online via Court Reserve.   

  

Focused Skill Training:

Skills & Strategies will engage in an in-depth exploration of various aspects of the game.  Sessions will alternate between beginner, intermediate and advanced levels on a weekly basis. Players are not required to sign up with a partner, however, having a partner for drills promises more engaging and productive practice sessions.
