Below is our 5-step Program progression for you to use as a guideline, if you have any questions after reading this blog, contact us and we will be happy to help!



Step 1: Let's Play Pickleball

Skill Level - None/Beginner

Whether you have just heard about pickleball or just played it a couple of times, this is the best way for you to ensure that your game is getting off on the right foot. This program will introduce, reinforce and improve your understanding of pickleball concepts, strokes and strategies.


The goal of this program will be to ensure that you are comfortable with all aspects of the game, and able to compete in a gameplay environment.


Step 2: Practice Makes Pickleball

Skill Level - Advanced Beginner/Early Intermediate

Have been playing for a year or 10 years, if you are looking to take that next step in your game, then 'Practice Makes Pickleball' is for you. This is the next step in our pickleball programming. This program will build upon the concepts, skills and strategies that were introduced in 'Let's Play Pickleball' or that you have acquired through your pickleball experience.


The goal of this program is to help you recognize your potential and focus on improving the quality of the strokes/shot that you are already executing.


Step 3: Consistency Builds Confidence

Skill Level - Intermediate

Has your game come to a standstill? Are you looking to compete against the top players, 'Consistency Builds Confidence' is the solution! Players should have a very solid grasp of the game and are focused on improving their quality of shots, the strategy of placement, and the purpose of pace control. You will be challenged and pushed out of your comfort level to help you improve your skillset. The goal of this program is to be able to play pickleball in a variety of situations, and environments while still focused on executing a higher level of shot and shot selection.


This program is meant for players who are looking to improve their game through repetition and reinforcement of techniques, skills and strategies via a variety of drills, drill-based games and mentored gameplay.


Step 4: Reaching for 4.0

Skill Level - Late Intermediate/Early Advanced

This program is “Taylored” for those players that are looking to make the jump from Intermediate to Advanced level play. It’s time to put it all together. This program is designed to help strengthen your ability to play against your opponents, combat their strengths, and expose their weaknesses which are all skills required to achieve a well-rounded game.


Let’s get to it!


Step 5: Train for Lasting Success

Skill Level - Advanced

This program is for players who have taken 'Reaching for 4.0' and would like to continue to build on their skills and progress learned. The name says it all, 'lasting success', we have designed this program for players that have been taught the skills but are not satisfied with where their game is and want to put in the work to take it to that next level and stay there!


It is one thing to know the skills of the game, it's another to understand the theory, strategy and mental aspect that is required to get to the top and stay there. Learn from our coaches who have and are playing with the best to get you over that last hurtle to pickleball success.


Between Programs

Between participating in our weekly programs we encourage you to get out on the court as much as possible to work on the skills, concepts and theory you have learned from us.


If you would like to dive deeper into a specific skill, concept or strategy we can set up a private lesson with you to make sure you have a solid understanding and execution before participating in our next program.
