Course Instructor  Sharon Harkavy

Course Fee $30.00

If you want to learn how to play pickleball in a fun and friendly class with beginners, then this is the class for you.  I will provide paddles and balls.  YOU need to come wearing court sneakers, either pickleball or tennis.  This is important because running and walking sneakers do not allow for proper lateral motion, and I don’t want anyone tripping because of their footwear.  You should also wear eyeglasses or protective eyewear and comfortable clothing such as shorts, leggings, sweatpants, shorts, etc. We will be getting sweaty.  Please bring a full water bottle as well.  You will learn everything needed to become a player of this fun game.  Past players who are still not feeling comfortable with the rules or their skills may repeat a class.   Please note:  this class is very popular.  The entire class is based on having 8 participants at EVERY CLASS.  I expect you to check your calendar for all class dates.  If you can’t attend all the classes please do not sign up.  Please remember when you don’t attend, it affects everyone in the class and we can’t form 2 groups of four for play.   Can’t wait to get you started on playing this wonderful game.
