Advanced Beginner III Pickleball Lessons (18 yrs+)

Due to popular demand students have identified the need to offer this new progression-oriented class which is designed to get students ready to progress into intermediate levels of play.  Professional Pickleball Instructor, Marc Austin, has answered the call by uniquely designing this new level class to start placing more emphasis on the mental aspects of the game and to start teaching how to recognize "tells" and other "potential weaknesses" in opponent play - and have students learn how to capitalize on these weaknesses.  More game-oriented play will occur as well as more emphasis will be placed on footwork and shot technique.  Potential students will do best if they have successfully completed Coach Marc's Advanced Beginner II class or feel strongly, they are close to becoming an intermediate-level player.  Strong serving techniques, advancement in drop shot ability, and developing solid blocking techniques will be key takeaways.  Let's together take pickleball fun to the next level by learning in a highly productive environment.
