Get ready for lesson oneCommon questions
Before your first lesson
Do I need my own pickleball paddle?
No. A paddle and balls can be provided for your first lesson. If you already own a paddle, bring it so your coach can help you get comfortable with its weight and grip.
Where are lessons held in Vancouver?
Lessons are arranged at convenient public courts in Vancouver, subject to weather and court availability. Call to discuss the closest suitable location and current indoor options.
Can complete beginners take a private lesson?
Absolutely. Private coaching is often the quickest way to learn because the lesson can pause for questions and focus on the movements that feel unfamiliar to you.
How many lessons will I need?
Most new players can understand the basic rules and rally in one lesson. A short series of three to five sessions helps make serving, returning and kitchen play much more consistent.
Can couples or friends learn together?
Yes. Two-person and small-group lessons are a fun, affordable way to learn, especially if you plan to play together afterward.
