COMPETITIVE EDGE: RESET AND RECOVER
Thursday: May 14th (Rain Date: May 21st) 4:15 – 5:45 PM
When your team loses control of a rally, the ability to reset and recover keeps you in the point and shifts momentum back in your favor. This clinic breaks down the different types of resets used to neutralize pressure and regain control based on the shot you receive and your position on the court. Successful resets don’t just extend points—they set you up to win them.
Notes: (1) Follow-up with “Play with the Coach” at 6:00! (B) Appropriate for intermediate and advanced players who will be grouped by experience level. Those new to the game should take “Learn to Play Pickleball.”
COMPETITIVE EDGE: DROP, DRIVE, DOMINATE
Thursday: June 4th (Rain date: June 18th) 4:45 – 6:15 PM
A high-energy 90-minute clinic focused on mastering the drive–drop combination and knowing exactly when—and why—to use the strategy. You’ll learn how to apply pressure with controlled drives, followed by effective drops, and defend against the same tactics when opponents use them. Through focused drills and competitive play, you’ll build smarter shot selection, stronger transitions, and the ability to dictate points instead of reacting to them.
Notes: (1) Follow-up with “Play with the Coach” at 6:30! (B) Appropriate for intermediate and advanced players who will be grouped by experience level. Those new to the game should take “Learn to Play Pickleball.”
