Focused training for developing players

Already playing pickleball and ready for more focused skills training?

The Level Up Pickleball Skills Clinic is designed for developing players who want to become more consistent, confident, and intentional on court. Each session gives players the opportunity to work on a specific part of their game through focused coaching, purposeful practice, and thoughtfully designed activities.

This is more than simply playing more games. Level Up is for players who are ready to keep up with skills-based drills beyond beginner-level basics and apply what they learn in more challenging on-court situations.

Who is Level Up for?

Level Up may be a good fit for you if you:

✅ Already play pickleball but want to become more consistent

✅ Are comfortable with basic strokes and court movement

✅ Can keep up with skills-based drills and focused training activities

✅ Want to become more consistent, confident, and intentional during play

✅ Are ready to work on shot selection, positioning, movement, and decision-making

You do not need to call yourself an “intermediate player” or have a formal rating. We look at your current playing experience and readiness for the session.

New to pickleball or still building your basics? Start with our Get Hooked Beginners’ Clinic or book a Pickleball Fundamentals private coaching session first.

Small-group coaching for better learning

Level Up sessions are limited to 12 players, with a maximum of six players per court.

Keeping the group focused allows our coaches to observe players more closely, provide useful feedback, and keep everyone actively involved throughout the session.

Every clinic has a Session Focus

Choose a Session Focus and train with intention.

Backhand Confidence
Turn your backhand from a weakness into a weapon. Build greater confidence, consistency, and control as you learn backhand slice dinks, generate more power with your two-handed backhand drives, attack confidently with backhand volleys at the kitchen line, and develop reliable backhand returns against hard serves. Through focused drills, coach-guided instruction, and game-based application, you’ll gain the skills to make your backhand a true asset in every match.

From Defense to Offense
Stop surviving rallies and start controlling them. Learn how to work your way from the baseline through the transition zone and into the kitchen with confidence. Master both volley resets and off-the-bounce resets, learn when to use the drive-and-drop combo, and develop the skills to neutralize pressure while advancing to the non-volley zone. Through focused drills, coach-guided instruction, and game-based application, you’ll learn how to turn defensive situations into offensive opportunities and take control of the point.

Beat the Bangers
Learn how to stay calm and in control against aggressive power players. Neutralize hard hitters by improving your ability to block and redirect hard drives, reacting faster with quicker hands, and keeping the ball low under pressure. Develop stronger kitchen counterattacks—the missing piece of a complete soft game—and learn how to regain control of the rally when faced with pace. Through focused drills, coach-guided instruction, and game-based application, you’ll gain the tools to handle power play and turn defense into advantage.

The coaching approach and activities may vary from one session to another depending on the focus. This gives our coaches the freedom to introduce fresh drills, creative training methods, and different ways to help players understand and apply each skill.

Topics may return in future sessions, but the training experience will continue to evolve through new drills, challenges, and applications.
