La Jolla, Calif. (March 1, 2021) – The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC) Jacobs Family Campus offers beginner, intermediate, and youth pickleball clinics open to the community.

Pickleball is growing in popularity. The sport – a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping pong – is now becoming even more popular as an outdoor, socially distanced sport. Beginners can learn easily, and advanced players can enjoy the fast-paced, competitive game.

The JCC encourages players to bring their own pickleball paddle to the court. The level of intensity is a player’s preference and JCC offers different clinics based on experience:

  • Beginner Clinics – overview of court and game, basic rules, scoring, proper grip and body placement, and groundstrokes
  • Intermediate Clinics – serve and return techniques, improve consistency, develop strategies, drop shots, and point play

Adult beginner clinics are from 9:30-11:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 21 and April 18.

Intermediate clinics will be Sunday, March 28, and April 25, also from 9:30-11:00 a.m.

Instructors are advanced pickleball players, as well as experienced coaches and teachers. Beginner and intermediate clinics are $24 per session, or $20 for JCC members.
