Introduction to Pickleball (2.0 and below)

This Class in an introduction to the game of Pickleball. You’re a real beginner, with little knowledge of the game. 

Beginner (1.0 to 3.5)

This is beginner’s Class. This is not your first time playing the game. You can sustain a short rally with other amateurs. You understand the scoring system to some degree. You can hit a passable forehand, serve and volley but struggle to maintain a dink rally. You avoid the backhand, and your third shot lacks direction. You’re starting to grasp court position, and can keep scores. 

Intermediate (4.0 and above)

This is an intermediate class for players 3.5+. You have taken many classes. Your dinks, volleys and forehands are starting to be more consistent and controlled. You can deploy a backhand when necessary, and your serves are getting more accurate. When it comes to strategy, you’re now able to move quickly to the non-volley zone (kitchen). You know the difference between the hard and the soft game.
