Strategic Pickleball
Taking your game to the next level!
Many players have taken lots of lessons and improved their strokes but there is a lot more to winning than proper stroke production.
To be effective on the court you need to understand the concepts of positioning, movement, stroke selection and point building. Mastery of these concepts are the foundation of a comprehensive and effective game strategy.
If you want to improve your game and start winning then let the Strategic Pickleball team work with you or your team to take your game to the next level and unlock your winning potential.
Our Services
Strategy Analysis
We will observe your stroke selection and over all match play to identify weaknesses and strengths and then provide strategies to increase efficiency and provide a direction to your total game.
We can work with you to create a plan to achieve a specific level of play (e.g. go from 4.0 to 4.5).
Enable you to discover and hone your weapons.
We’ll use a mix of drills, real game play, and demos to develop your skills and build your confidence to bring out the best in you.
Video Match Analysis
Research shows that players do not always do what they think they are doing in competition, and that they are less than 45% correct in their post-match assessment as to why a match is won or lost.
Utilizing a two camera system we video your game play. After the match we provide a breakdown of areas of concern and areas to continue practicing.
A player’s true strengths and weaknesses only become evident during match play.
Tournament Coaching/Prep
Looking for more customized one on one or team coaching? We have just what you need. We can work with you to put together a program such as "Road to the Nationals Program" where we work with you during multiple sessions to prepare you or you and your team for that important tournament.
We can also attend as your coach during tournaments to give you instant feedback and strategic direction so you can take home the "Gold" and follow that up with personal sessions to work on areas that we observed during the match play.
