Chelsea Community Education

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America and played on small courts with a paddle and ball typically with 4 players. You will find it easy to learn and to play with friends and family. Players will be divided by skill levels for drilling and/or learning the game. This three-hour clinic will be divided into two parts; drills that cover the first five shots of the game, basic court strategy and shot selection, followed by practical application during games. The round robin format will be designed for a positive fun experience for all and will include coach feedback during play. Clinic will be led by PPR certified trainer, experienced Wolverine Pickleball instructor, USAPA District Ambassador Laura Ouellette. No matter your age or ability you will be able to enjoy being active and the social benefits of meeting new people in the community. There will be a 24 player max per session so lots of learning plus playing time. Please wear athletic clothes and court shoes/gym shoes are preferred. All equipment, including paddle if needed, is provided and no need to bring a partner as matchups will be rotated constantly during sessions. Come on out, join the pickleball craze, and see what everyone is talking about!
