About the event
Thank you for your interest in the Skill Building Clinic at Big Rock Pickleball
My intention as your coach is to help you develop your skills by learning correct form and execution of a
variety of shots. Drilling and playing with intension are the keys to building muscle memory.
Learning cycle
- Unconsciously unskilled: I don’t know what I don’t know (I didn’t know about this)
- Consciously unskilled: I now know what I didn’t know (I’ve been told but don’t know how)
- Consciously skilled: I know what I am to do (I have to think about it to do it)
- Unconsciously skilled: MUSCLE MEMORY!!! I don’t even have to think about it, I just do it!
About Big Rock Pickleball Court
Big Rock is a single outdoor court surface in a temperature-controlled building. There is no running water at the court. A portable potty and sanitizer are provided. No food is allowed in the building. Be sure to bring water in spill proof containers only. Clean court shoes should be carried in to change into.
We will be playing for six hours with breaks between. Breaks may be taken as needed. Please take care of yourself and let me know if you need a little time to rest or refresh.
9 am to noon: Focus will be on playing at the net. You will participate in drills that will help you build muscle memory for quickness and accuracy as well as positioning and coordinating with your partner.
Lunch: Will be served in the Ballenger’s home where you may rest, visit and refresh.
1 pm to 4 pm: A variety of shots will be covered on the full court. Some cooperative play and some
competitive play give you opportunity to practice these shots. There will be fun competitions as well as
focused skill development.
You will receive a questionnaire before the clinic. This is not mandatory. It is designed to provide me
with information so I can customize the clinic to include the things you hope to work on and learn about.
I look forward to seeing you all at 9am on October 19 th 2024. Let’s have some fun!
