Sorry, I wasn’t on the ball for this one!
Registration opened on Sunday for the next round of Southborough Rec’s Pickleball Lessons. One of the four class options is already full (and I missed sharing the current session which started on Monday.)
Rec’s lessons are for two levels of “Beginner” players: Beginner 1 for newbies and Beginner 2 for those who already know the ropes but need help with their skills.
The lessons are for adults ages 18+, offered at $95 per session, which covers five weekly 90 minute lessons.
Both levels of classes are again led by “Certified Pickleball Instructor” Lisa Giusti. Each one hour class is capped at 8 players. Classes are all on Mondays, but with both a morning and evening option.
The next session of classes will run on Mondays, July 14th through August 11th.
Beginner 1
An instructional pickleball program for athletes new to the sport or just beginning. Learn the game’s rules, techniques and skills. The curriculum will begin with the basics and end with participants playing full games against each other.
Times still offered are 8:30 – 9:30 am. (The evening class is full.)
Beginner 2
Players must have either already completed a prior Beginner 1 clinic or be “rated 2.5 with knowledge of scoring and court positioning”.
This is for players who want to gain more confidence on the court and improve their overall pickleball experience. The program focuses on proper technique and mechanics in developing more consistency with shots like dinks, drops, groundstrokes, volleys, serves, etc.
Times offered are:
- 9:30 – 10:30 am
- or 6:00 – 7:00 pm
All classes will be held at the Tennis Courts at Mooney Field. That’s on the Finn School campus, 60 Richards Road. (See image of parking and location right.)
