The First 5 - Pickleball Clinic Series

The Kitchen Presents: A Pickleball Clinic Series – The First 5 Framework
How to play longer, more strategic pickleball points

This 4-week Pickleball Clinic Series is designed to help players understand and master the first five shots of a pickleball point—the foundation for longer rallies and smarter play.

The clinic will take place on Mondays from 12:00–2:00 PM throughout February, with each session building on the previous week. Participants may register for individual sessions, with tickets priced at $50 per person per session (plus fees).

Over the course of the series, players will learn how proper shot selection and execution can help all four players reach the kitchen and transition into a controlled, strategic short game.

• Week One: Serve and Return
• Week Two: The Third Shot
• Week Three: The Fourth and Fifth Shots
• Week Four: The Short Game

During each 2-hour session, certified coaches will discuss and demonstrate which shots to hit, how to hit them, and why they matter strategically. You’ll also learn practical drills to improve each shot and have time to play and connect with other players in a supportive learning environment.

Whether you’re looking to extend rallies, improve consistency, or play more strategically, this clinic series provides a simple, effective framework to elevate your game.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
