CTPA PB-1/ Early Player Development Program: Beginners Class  

Why is our clinic is the best way to learn the game?  First it includes a paddle to keep and you will need it because the course  can be as long as four different 2-hr sessions and all together up to 8 hours long.   The first 2 hours is a 4 student to 1 teacher ratio, and the next three Early Player Development sessions have skilled players helping to progress your game in normal play.   Compare this to a freebie, one hour session where you borrow the paddles.   What do you use if you want to practice or play again?   That's why we give you a beginners paddle to keep, so you can continue and decide if this game is for you.   That's what Early Learners help you decide without having to buy an expensive paddle.   We teach about 400 students per year the "correct way" to learn the game of pickleball.

This is a great introduction to pickleball developed by us after teaching hundreds of students. It consists of up to 8 hours of instructions and includes a paddle and ball to keep and take home and priority waitlist.to become a member. 

You will learn scoring, terminology, and rules. The first 2-hr clinic will be 4 students on one court with one instructor.  There we will teach you by FIRST shot, SECOND shot, THIRD Shot, etc.  The First shot in pickleball is the serve and the serve should be in 99.9% of the time.  

We will introduce you to the do's and don'ts in serving to start building a reliable serve. The second shot is the return, we will teach you where to place the second shot and why.  And how to take advantage of a bad serve. The 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. shots is where the strategy of pickleball gets into play and where you should be in relationship of the court during all these shots.  By the end of the clinic you will be playing pickleball.  Then, at no extra cost, you will be invited to join us outdoors for our Early Player Development sessions.  Up to three Early Player Development  2-hr. sessions is included as part of this program. These sessions will have CTPA volunteers to further help develop and improve your game while you  playing with fellow students of the same level.  

That is a great package and a great way to learn a fun game.

Pickleball player"The PB-1/Fast Track Clinic was beyond my expectations!  It was so organized. Materials were given to participants even before the clinic and they were really beneficial. The instructors were so knowledgeable, patient and eager to teach. I truly learned a great deal. But most importantly, I had a lot of fun!!" - Joan Gohh
