HOW LESSONS ARE ORGANIZED
The Cedarbrae Community Centre in southwest Calgary offers affordable indoor pickleball lessons and training groups all year round for multiple levels, including novice, intermediate, advanced, and high performance.
GETTING STARTED
Players who are new to pickleball are required to take Intro to Pickleball. Completion of this program gives new players access to recreational pickleball programs.
LEARNING FUNDAMENTAL STROKES
Whether you are new to racquet sports or just new to pickleball, these three groups of fundamentals are essential for players who want to advance.
Proficiency in the above fundamentals opens the door to training with other players at the next level.
LEARNING FOUNDATIONAL DRILLS
At the 300 level, players have learned the fundamental strokes and are now beginning to learn foundational drills.
The key to improving significantly at this level and beyond is becoming part of a training group. These groups open the door to higher levels of competitive pickleball.
- P301 Intermediate Serve/Return Skills
- P302 Intermediate Groundstroke Skills
- P303 Intermediate Volley Skills
Once players have learned stroke fundamentals and the foundational drills of intermediate pickleball, they are ready to learn to play as a team.
LEARNING TEAM PLAY
At the 300 level, players begin to play with regular partners. Therefore many take team lessons in which they learn to play as a team.
Once players have learned to play as a team, they are ready to start training as a team and preparing to compete in tournaments.
LEARNING ADVANCED DRILLS
At the 350 level, players are learning to thread skills learned in the lessons above into more advanced drills. The training groups are becoming stronger and more competitive.
- P351 Advanced Drop Shot Skills
- P352 Advanced Dinking Skills
- P353 Advanced Lob/Overhead Skills
- P354 Advanced Power Stroke Skills
MASTERING BATTLE DRILLS
At the 400 level, players have developed all of the basic skills. They are now learning to thread multiple skills into competitive battle drills. This level is the gateway to high performance pickleball.
- M401 Mastering Groundstrokes & Volleys
- M402 Mastering Drops & Resets
- M403 Mastering Dinks & Speedups
HIGH PERFORMANCE PICKLEBALL
Beyond the 400-level, players no longer need group lessons. They simply need court time to engage in competitive battle drills with players at their level.
