PICKLEBALL LESSONS
STARTING NOVEMBER 5TH!!!
The Sun City Festival Pickleball Club will be offering a new program of lesson modules starting November 5th. The names for the modules are:
- Module 1: Beginning Pickleball
- Module 2: Advancing from 2.0 to 2.5
- Module 3: Advancing from 2.5 to 3.0
- Module 4: Advancing from 3.0 to 3.
The numbers 2.0, 2.5, etc. refer to traditional skill rating levels in pickleball. Level 3.5 represents a strong intermediate player.
The schedule of modules is shown below. Subject to the availability of volunteer coaches and the number of registrants, there will be three offerings of Module 1, three of Module 2, two of Module 3, and two of Module 4.
Each module consists of four 1½-hour lessons—one lesson per week for four weeks. We will register 8 to 10 players in each module. Two coaches will be assigned to each module. Then the same 8-10 players and the same 2 coaches will go to the same two Sage courts (#4 & #6) at the same time each week for 4 consecutive weeks.
If you register for a Module, please take the following to heart:
Complete write-ups of Player’s Guides and Coach’s Guides for all four modules are available at https://www.scfpickleballclub.com/pickleball-lessons.html . Scroll down to the bottom of the web page to find links to pdf files for the Guides.
How to register:
Show up at Sage court 4 at 2:00 pm on October 29 or October 30. On each occasion, your questions will be answered and registrations will be taken.
If you are not sure which Module is most appropriate for you, come to Sage courts #4 and #6 at 2:00 pm on Thursday, October 25th. Bring your paddle and we will have some informal play to make that assessment.
Note to Prospective Coaches: We still need a few more volunteer coaches for this set of modules. The commitment is only 1½ hours per week for 4 weeks. Contact Ernie Jerome (fejerome@shaw.ca or 623-215-2586).
If you register for a Module, please take the following to heart:
- It is very important that you show up all 4 weeks because (1) drills and play depend on there being 8-10 players present, and (2) the progression of lessons works best if all players learn and develop the same skills together. If you are going to be away more than Thanksgiving Day itself, keep in mind that these modules will be offered again in January (and hopefully in greater numbers).
- You cannot switch between Modules even though they may be at the same level.
