Youth Pickleball Programming Course

The Youth Pickleball Programming Course is a complete course for anyone running youth sessions. Seven modules cover safety and supervision, equipment and court setup, lesson planning, core skills, competitive play, inclusive coaching, and community outreach.

Run the Session

Sessions are built on timing, structure, and transitions that hold attention from the first whistle to the last. Lessons progress from simple to complex, so difficulty builds across sessions.

Teach the Skills

The serve, return, dink, and volley are taught through simple progression. After the fundamentals are established, games and drills put the whole game in motion.

Reach Every Kid

Physical, sensory, and cognitive adaptations keep the whole class in the game. Grouping and rotation strategies match players by ability.

The Youth Pickleball Programming Course is included for Challenger and Champion level members.
