July 21, 2026  
5pm - 7pm
Tuesday

Think of Intermediate 1 clinic as your personal tune-up phase, the moment where your game starts to feel smoother, smarter, and more intentional. You already know how to play; now you’re learning how to play well.

This clinic is designed for players who understand the basics and are ready to sharpen their mechanics, build consistency, and develop the on‑court habits that make rallies feel controlled instead of chaotic.

You’ll refine your strokes, choose smarter shots, move with intention, and learn to build points rather than simply react. This clinic is ideal for players who want more consistency, greater confidence, and a better understanding of the purpose behind each shot.

Summer Pickleball Clinics: Intermediate Level 2
August 4, 2026  
2pm - 4pm
Tuesday

Intermediate 2 clinic is where your game starts to feel in your control. This is the level where you add precision, pressure, and creativity, the kind of shot making that makes you smile.

You already have the fundamentals and the consistency from Intermediate 1 or previous play. Now it’s time to layer in the skills that make you unpredictable, intentional, and confidently competitive. In this clinic, you’ll learn how to reset under pressure, recognize higher‑level patterns, choose smarter shots, and turn defense into offense with purpose.

At this level, your game becomes more strategic, controlled, and enjoyable. Instead of simply reacting, you’ll shape each point, manage the pace, and play with a clear plan.
