Competitive Edge Clinics (May - Sept)

Join the 3% Who Do this Right
What’s the skill only 3% of pickleball players consistently do correctly? Stopping forward momentum at the right time before every shot—and it’s harder than it sounds because it goes against natural instincts to rush and reach. In this high-energy clinic, you’ll learn the physical and mental checklists that help elite players control their movement and stay balanced under pressure. You’ll practice the skills, apply them in live play, and compete with and against the coaches in a fun, challenging 90-minute session designed to help you join the 3%.
