Player Development

What do SCPA lesson plans look like?  SCPA uses the IPTPA program for lesson delivery which is a progressive 4 lessons plan.  Lessons, Skills & Drills will be done by level (i.e., 2.0 and 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5).  Once the dates are determined invitations will be sent out via email. 

For more information on upcoming Lessons please email laurie.sorensen@scpa.ca

Playing any game is fun only if you feel comfortable with your ability to be competitive, no matter the level of play. This is why practice, practice and more practice is important. Practice means drilling and not playing. Playing is the fun way to implement the skills learned from drilling. Drilling is the best method to master any skill. Drilling is the hard part of pickleball. Identify the weakest parts of your game, find the appropriate practice drill and spend a few hours working the drill. Weekly sessions are set up to practice specific skills for different levels of play. Drills shouldn't be done alone, someone should be able to observe as well, and the observer should be qualified to assess whether the practiced skill is done properly. Practice may not make you perfect but it will not make you worse.
