Beginner Pickleball Lessons
Step onto the court and see why everyone’s talking about pickleball! In this fun, hands-on class, you’ll learn the basics including rules, body positioning, footwork, and doubles strategy. Practice key shots like serves, returns, drop shots, and dinks, then spend the last 30 minutes in organized play to try out your new skills in real games. Bring your own paddle or borrow one from Gladstone, either way, you’ll be ready to jump in and play!
