Common Questions
Parents' FAQs
Does my child need any experience to start?
Not at all. Complete beginners are welcome. The first session covers all the basics โ rules, grip, stance, and how to rally โ so your child leaves feeling confident on court regardless of their starting point.
Do they need their own paddle?
Not for the first session โ a paddle can be provided to try the sport before investing in equipment. When your child is ready to buy their own, recommendations can be made based on their age and playing style.
Can parents watch the lesson?
Absolutely โ parents are welcome to watch from the sideline. Many parents find it helpful to see what their child is working on so they can encourage practice at home.
How long are the lessons?
All lessons are 60 minutes. For younger children (ages 6โ8), the session is structured with more variety and shorter activity windows to match their attention span and energy levels.
My child plays another racket sport โ will that help?
Definitely. Kids with a background in tennis, badminton, or table tennis often pick up pickleball very quickly โ the hand-eye coordination and racket sense transfers well. The main adjustments are court positioning and the kitchen rules.
