£10.50 – 90 Minutes
Beginner
New to pickleball and racquet sports. You have little to no racquet experience and are just starting out.
Beginner Plus
You have some racquet experience (such as tennis, squash, or table tennis) or have played a small amount of pickleball before. You can rally consistently, serve and return with control, understand court positioning, and use strategies such as dinking, third drop shots, and working as a team in doubles. You’re comfortable with match play and keeping score.
Intermediate
You have strong racquet skills and have been playing pickleball regularly for some time. You can sustain medium-paced rallies, regularly use dinks, drives, and lobs, and are beginning to master the third-shot drop. You move quickly to the no-volley zone, have improved control over shot placement and depth, make fewer unforced errors, and can distinguish between the hard and soft game.
