Pickleball is easy to learn. But a challenge to master.  We have an Orientation Program, conducted by qualified coaches, that will introduce you to the game of pickleball and get you playing safely in your first hour.   Our Orientation classes are conducted weekly—by appointment. Classes are usually limited to four students.

You might also watch  several youtube videos of actual games. This, too, will help you internalize the game. Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. Your coach will explain and demonstrate it all during your orientation. They will also play several “training games” with you.  Additionally, Thursday evenings at Ephesus Park have court time dedicated to beginning play, and often coaching is available.  

Then when you are ready to begin just write and suggest a date to come in for your orientation.   We’ll contact you and  will work with you to find a day that works for you and our schedule. There are no fees associated with our clinics or with our pickleball play.  You will, however, have to sign a Liability Waiver before training begins. Sturdy athletic shoes are also required to play on the court.

We’re friendly, FUN, welcoming and ready when you are. Hope to see you on the court soon!
