What it is

We're here to help you enjoy the game, whether you're just starting out or looking to improve. Our coaching programs guide you through your pickleball journey in a supportive, fun, and engaging way. With friendly, experienced coaches by your side, you'll build confidence and have a great time learning the ins and outs of pickleball.

Play Pickle has partnered with Elevate Pickleball to deliver coaching clinics across our community, led by NPL player Jessica Williams. These clinics are designed to help players improve their game in a way that carries into real match play, building consistency, awareness, and better decision-making on court. Delivered in small groups, each program combines coaching with gameplay so you can apply what you learn straight away.
