5 WEEKS · PROGRESS · PLAY BETTER

The 5-Week Breakdown

Your Path From Advanced Beginner to Intermediate

🏓 Week 1 — Dinking & Kitchen Control

🎯 Focus: Owning the non-volley zone

✅ Serving & returns — supervised, with direct critique on form and placement (15 min)

✅ Drives forehand and backhand (20 min)

✅ Forehand dominance: coach-fed reps, every return finishing split step → move in → volley (20 min)

✅ Court positioning & live play — putting the week's shots into real points (10-15 min) ⭐ Advanced Track: mid-court resets — absorbing pace and turning a fast ball neutral

⚡ Week 2 — Backhand Dominance & Serve Consistency

🎯 Focus: Building the shot most players skip

✅ Backhand mechanics — coach-fed reps, same forward-movement pattern as Week 1

✅ Backhand dinks & resets — trusting the backhand instead of running around it

✅ Serving & returns — placement and consistency over power

✅ Live play — working both wings under pressure

💥 Week 3 — Net Play Dominance

🎯 Focus: Controlling the point from the kitchen line

✅ Volleys & blocks — punching vs. steering a ball

✅ Reading fast exchanges: attack, reset, or block

✅ Serving & returns — locking in consistency from Weeks 1–2

✅ Live play — kitchen-line battles and point construction

🛡️ Week 4 — 3rd Shot Drop & Transition Zone

🎯 Focus: The shot that decides if you get stuck in no-man's land

✅ 3rd shot drop mechanics with target practice

✅ Reading the return: drop, drive, or reset

✅ Transitioning baseline → kitchen safely (footwork & timing)

✅ Live play built around 3rd shot situations

🏆 Week 5 — Live Play & Putting It All Together

🎯 Focus: Real games, real strategy

✅ Full games with coaching between points, not just after

✅ Shot selection under pressure — tying together Weeks 1–4

✅ Court positioning & point construction as a team

✅ Wrap-up: what to keep drilling and where you stand next

WHAT PLAYERS SAY 💬

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He is an excellent coach. He is punctual with great communication which is big to me. Very detailed with easy to follow instruction. I improved each lesson and was able to apply the techniques to the court. Highly recommend! Lisa

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Coach Chris is great! He does an excellent job at breaking drills down into small, manageable pieces, and then tying it all together so it actually makes sense in real games. He is very patient, easy to learn from, and explains things in a way that sticks.

— Dana Rhodes

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend Coach Chris! He breaks down strategy and technique in a simple way. Every session, I feel like I'm becoming a better pickleball player. He also makes his own paddles which are really quality. Looking forward to doing more pickleball lessons!

— Amir Omar

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Christopher is a great coach. He was on time and his instructions were very easy to follow. I am a competitive person and although a beginner he challenged me to my abilities. Loved that! Would highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m a beginner pickleball player. Chris helped me learn how to dink both forehand and backhand. We worked on footwork, keeping my eye on the ball serving. He was very patient and encouraging.
