NEW TO PICKLEBALL?
You’re exactly who these sessions are designed for.
You don’t need a tennis background, great coordination or any previous pickleball experience. Most people can start hitting and rallying quite quickly; we’ll work through positioning, serving, rules and scoring progressively, on court and at a pace that makes sense.

WHAT PLAYERS ARE SAYING
A few words from people who've joined a session and played.
“I finally understand how the game actually works.”
I’d played a couple of times before but was still confused about the scoring and where I was supposed to stand. Scott explained everything really simply and we were playing proper games by the end of the session. It was relaxed, fun and exactly what I needed.

Curl Curl, Sydney
“Really easy to learn and a lot of fun.”
I’d never played pickleball before and was a little nervous about being the complete beginner in the group. Scott made it really easy to follow and we were rallying pretty quickly. There was no pressure and everyone had a great time.
Kim.T 23
Chatswood, Sydney
“A great next step after learning the basics.”
I knew how to hit the ball but didn’t really understand positioning or what I should be doing during a game. The session was practical and we spent plenty of time actually playing rather than standing around listening. I came away feeling much more confident.

HOW I COACH
Keep it simple. Learn by playing. Build confidence.
I believe beginners learn pickleball best by being on court, hitting plenty of balls and understanding the game one step at a time.
Because when you feel comfortable on court, you play more, learn faster and have a lot more fun doing it.
01
Keep it Simple
Simple technique. Clear explanations. One step at a time.
02
Learn by Playing
Hit plenty of balls, practise the skills and put them into real game play.
03
Build Confidence
No pressure to be perfect. Get comfortable on court and enjoy getting better.
