Course Structure
Each Lesson: 2 hours
A group of 12 players
Co-led by Layla and assistant(s).
-----------------------
- Each session begins with skill development and ends with a game.
- the lessons plan will be conducted in 4 incremental steps in a block of 4 sessions so by the end of the lesson plan students will be scoring and playing the real game.
- pickleball is a game of light touch and control because we do not want balls flying all over the place.
- safety will be discussed and monitored throughout each lesson.
- spatial awareness by cautioning students not to bump into other students and watch for moving and stationary equipment like rolling balls, paddles, walls, hoops, nets etc.
- equipment maybe adapted to be inclusive and fun. Key modifications may include adjusting court size and net height, modified drills, and adapted gameplay rules.
- Importance of safety, individual needs and inclusive environment so all children feel comfortable participating.
