The Session
What You Will Learn
One session, the fundamentals, and real rallies before you leave.
The Rules
Scoring, serving, and the no-volley zone for pickleball, or the glass walls and serve rules for padel, explained in plain terms.
Grip and Stance
How to hold the paddle and set your feet so your first shots land where you aim.
The Core Shots
Serve, return, and the soft game at the net, with plenty of repetition.
Your First Rallies
Play points with other beginners so you leave knowing how a real game feels.
