Introducing "Little Picklers": The Ultimate Pickleball Program for Kids

Program Overview

The Little Picklers program runs from October 15th to November 21st, with sessions held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are two age groups:

Little Picklers

Age 6-9 years

Tue/Thu 4-5 PM for 6 weeks

Three coaches will lead the younger group in 60-minute sessions focused on introducing them to pickleball through fun drills, games, and activities. The emphasis on friendly fun allows younger kids to get a feel for the sport, familiarize themselves with the paddle and ball, and fall in love with pickleball. Each session is designed to provide personalized attention and a positive experience for every child.

Junior Picklers

Age 10-14 years

Tue/Thurs 5:15-6:30 PM for 6 weeks

The older group will have 75-minute sessions, led by two coaches, that dive more deeply into the fundamentals of pickleball, including scoring, rules, and strategy. Kids will work on developing essential strokes like the forehand, backhand, serve, and volley, along with advanced shots such as lobs, dinks, drives, and drops. These sessions are more structured, with drills and games that help refine their skills while keeping the atmosphere lively and fun. The program for this age group also includes competitions with trophies and prizes, so they’ll have something to strive for!
