In Game Coaching
SMYG
Participants will be in a game situation with a coach providing feedback. Not a traditional pickleball lesson/clinic.
These sessions focus more on tactics and strategies than on skill and drill. The coach will observe, provide feedback and might insert himself into the game in order to demonstrate key concepts.
Since the strategies will not work if you don't have the right skill, you need to be at least 3.0.
The coach will place students on groups of similar skill level.
