Beginner Pickleball Classes in Indianapolis

Pickleball is an amazing sport. It’s sweeping the nation right now (and Indy too) and no wonder. Pickleball keeps people in shape, it’s a sport you can play the rest of your life (even up into your 70’s and 80’s and older!), it allows the family and the generations to play together competitively (grandparents playing with their grandkids etc.), it’s probably the most social sport out there period which means it creates incredible community and friends. And ultimately…Pickleball is just plain FUN.
 
However, sometimes Pickleball can feel intimidating to get into. When you go to a local park in Indianapolis and see a bunch of people playing, it can feel uncomfortable trying to play with people who have been playing for awhile. Maybe you watched a YouTube video on how to play but want to flesh it out more fully on the court. Or maybe you just heard about Pickleball and want to know what all the fuss is about? There are a ton of reasons why you may want to take a Beginner Pickleball Class before you step out on the court yourself.
 
With that in mind, The Pickleball Lab is thrilled to put on our Beginner Pickleball Classes and clinics to get more and more people interested and comfortable playing the game of pickleball.

 
 

Our Beginner Pickleball Class

With our Beginner Pickleball Class you will go from knowing nothing about the game at all, all the way to being confident and ready to stack your paddle up at the local park to play with the regulars, all in just 90 minutes! I truly believe our Beginner Pickleball Class is the best in Indianapolis because our clinic is:
 
  1. Judgment-Free (our class is laid back with no pressure with other beginners as well, no reason to feel intimidated, just come have fun)
  2. Efficient (we pack everything you need to know into our 90 minute session)
  3. Structured (we have a tried and true syllabus we stick to)
  4. Complete (our syllabus includes everything and leaves nothing out)
  5. Professional (our teachers are all great at educating as well as high level Pickleball players that were beginners once too)
  6. FUN (Pickleball is supposed to be fun and our instructors use their energy and passion for Pickleball to bring that out in the lesson)
  7. *We also offer 201 Pickleball Lessons as well that you can take to build your skills even further after your beginner lesson
Because of these reasons we believe you will truly have the best experience and learn the game the best with our Beginner Pickleball Class. And lastly, probably the best thing about our lessons is that we’re going to take you from knowing absolutely nothing at all, all the way in 90 minutes, to feeling confident enough and 100% ready to go out to your local park or local pickleball facility, stack your paddles, and play games.

Our Beginner Pickleball Classes do have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 48 hours prior to the lesson we do still charge you because it is unlikely that we can find another person for the class at that time and will probably have to cancel the lesson. The policy is really meant to protect you and each person attending so no one cancels at the last minute and everyone can be 100% sure that the lesson is going to happen. This policy also ensures we have a higher than average turnout rate in our beginner lessons so everyone can have fun.

Your website isn't the best, are you legit?
Noted and fair question. And I don’t disagree with you. This website is just our starter website. We will certainly be upgrading it in the near future and that plan is already in the works. As for if we are legit, I would encourage you to check out our About page as well as the page for our Founder and Lead Instructor. You can also check out our Google Business Profile for reviews from real people.  And finally, you can certainly check out our YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok profiles if that puts you at ease as well. We are certainly legit and also offer a full refund within 48 hours if you decide to cancel your lesson for any reason.
