FAQ

All types of pickleball training, including clinics, as well as one-time or recurring individual lessons and group lessons:

• Fundamentals: learn how to play the game in a fun, non-threatening atmosphere
• Game improvement: get help with the game as a whole, or concentrate on individual strokes/techniques or pickleball strategy
• Drills – you may execute a given stroke very few times within a game. The best way to improve stroke technique is by repeating the same stroke over and over – i.e., drilling. But you need to make sure the habits you are engraining are the correct ones! While we drill, I will be watching your technique and helping you make minor corrections to improve the stroke.
• Game analysis – I will watch your game (or play a game with you) and offer comments suggestions throughout. (All players must agree to doing this.)

• No. In fact, I recommend you wait. I have a number of demo paddles for you to try. It’s important to find a paddle that feels good to you, so I recommend you try several during a lesson.
• I will also provide you with a discount code good at engagepickleball.com on all their merchandise – even sale items! DM me for the code and details, or I will give it to you at the lesson.

• Fees vary depending on the location and the number of players involved in the lesson.
• Send an email russ@forthofer.net to discuss specifics

Venmo is my preferred method of payment. If that does not work for you, we can find a method that works for both of us. My Venmo code is @RussF-PB and can be found here

Absolutely! I have some locations that I typically use. But I am happy to provide a lesson at a court that you are able to access, assuming it is in the Indianapolis Metro area. I can supply the net, if that is needed.
