Learn. Play. Rally.
30 Minutes to Learn. 30 Minutes to Play. 100% Fun.
Think youth basketball, but with paddles! Every session combines hands-on coaching with real game time. Kids spend the first half learning new skills and the second half putting those skills into action through fast, fun, rotating pickleball games.
8 weeks · Skills + games every week
30minutes
Skills & practice
Experienced coaches and volunteers guide age-appropriate instruction, drills and practice.
30minutes
Rotating games
Short, friendly games with rotating partners and fair playing time. Everyone stays involved.
Learning, sportsmanship and fun—not elimination tournaments or intense competition.
Games may rotate every 5 minutes or after 3–5 points, depending on age group, experience, attendance and available courts. Schedules and rotations may be adjusted by the program organizers.
