About this event

Take your game to the next level by mastering one key pickleball shot at a time. Each session focuses on a specific shot or skill—such as third-shot drops, drives, resets, dinks, volleys, lobs, or speed-ups—and breaks it down through expert instruction, high-repetition drills, and game-based scenarios. Players will learn proper technique, shot selection, and when to use each shot effectively during match play. Whether you attend one clinic or the entire series, you'll leave with greater consistency, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the game.
