***REQUIRES PERMISSION OF INSTRUCTOR TO REGISTER***

Please note that it is recommended for new students to repeat Jumpstart 2.0 classes until they have reached an appropriate skill level to move to this 2.5 class (ask instructor for clarification).

This class is for students who have taken 1.0 and 2.0 classes and have sufficiently developed basic beginner skills and understand beginner pickleball strategy to keep a rally going and manage appropriate offense and defense. Players are comfortable with rules, scoring and simple court positioning and are capable of basic shots, including serves, returns dinking and block volleys.

Please arrive with court shoes and water (court shoes and water are also available for purchase on-site). You're free to use one of our many demo paddles during the clinic. 

CANCELLATION POLICY

The Santa Monica Pickleball Center will determine rainouts 1-2 hours prior to reservation start time based on weather forecasts and our court drying machine. Rainouts will receive club credits only. All event cancellations require a 7 day written notice for a 50% refund.
