BEGINNERS |
If you are new to the sport, take the "Intro to Pickleball" session offered by the LWV Pickleball Club. You do not need to be a Club member. It takes place Tuesdays 4:00-6:00 pm at the indoor courts in the mini-gym in Clubhouse 1 (adjoining the Fitness Center). You must register for a slot via the CALENDAR on this website, we have a maximum of 8 people per session. Contact Dave Hastings at dlhcog4@yahoo.com with any questions. Clubhouse 1 is closed until September 2024 for renovation. This class will take place on the outdoor courts (Gate 12). Check the Calendar for the time as this may change due to the heat and/or busy courts.
BATT Lesson : Graduates of the Intro to Pickleball session who join the Pickleball Club are invited to participate in a Beginners and Technique Training (BATT) lesson given by Coach Allan Galera, LW pickleball pro player and instructor. In this single group lesson sponsored by the Club, you will learn the basic strokes and good technique.
Coach Allan Galera also offers private lessons (see the court noticeboards for details).Pickleball 101 - a quick read outlining how the game is played
