Training FOCUS Points
So you think you can DINK?
Let’s start constructing points using a variety of targeted spots.
Reach into the kitchen as much as possible. Stop letting the ball dictate where you and your last minute paddle go. Let's get ball control, please!
Covering the Middle from the Kitchen line
‘V to the T’ and ‘P to the T’ WHAT???
Pull them wide and push the ball middle. Offense
Covering the middle when they “pull you wide and push the ball middle” Defense
Forehand does not always take the middle #mindblown
Respect the X, thanks Engage Pickleball
DROP DRIVE DROP
When do you drop and when do you drive
Let’s practice this as a 3rd or a 5th shot
Get your brain to make a good decision quickly
Skinny Singles Tourney
You really have poor ball control until you can win this game. Placement and practice.
Fourth Shot: Be the Hero or be the Zero
Don’t be in such a hurry to put the ball away.
Rise to the next level, extend the point.
Be “that” player that makes the game better by making good choices
Create a 90% put away and quit taking a chance on the 55% put away.
Return of Serve: The shot that can kill your score.
First ball theory vs Poach vs Interception
Defending the LOB
You know how to lob, but do you know how to defend the lob. Nothing is more frustrating than a lobber (so offensively...keep doing it😂), we will teach you how to get them to slow down their lob.
Strategies for LOBBING Succesfully
When to lob, how to lob, why to lob and you will hit 100's of lobs. Some people lob because they are late to the ball, lack of mobility forces it....Lets learn to lob at the right time for the right reason.
YOU WILL GET BETTER! Repetition builds muscle memory. Repetition builds good habits.
BEST THING ABOUT THIS CAMP: All of your court time, practice time and open play time is included in the camp price. Just schedule each morning with the front desk your desired practice time.
