​
Pickleball Training Academy coaches beginners to understand and ultimately enjoy the basic fundamentals as well as advanced pro-level players who wish to drill in a competitive environment and level up while improving their skills of the game. Additionally, our doubles team training focuses on player positioning, drills on getting to the net quickly, and moving in unison with your partner all while enhancing your doubles strategy.
Pickleball is more about placement than power and 75 percent of rallies are won (or lost) due to errors; only 25 percent are actually earned or won by a good shot. We are committed to coaching you with proven proper strategies as well as having fun while learning or enhancing your pickleball skills.
