Learn to Play Pickleball in Austin, Tx – Beginner Group Class
If you’re new to pickleball and looking for the best place to start, my Beginner Pickleball Class in Austin is the perfect introduction. I’ve been teaching Pickleball since 2018 and have taught literally thousands of people through this Intro class alone.
This 1.5-hour public group class is designed for first-time players and beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of this fast-growing sport in a relaxed and social setting.
Hosted outdoors at the Austin Tennis and Pickleball Center—the original hub for pickleball in the city—this class focuses on building your confidence through active play and hands-on learning.
Check out my upcoming Intro classes here on my online scheduler.
What You’ll Learn in This Pickleball Class for Complete Beginners
Whether you’ve never picked up a paddle or have only played a few times, this class will help you:
- Understand the basic rules of pickleball
- Learn how to keep score in doubles play
- Practice real points with other beginners
- Get comfortable with positioning and beginner strategy
You’ll spend most of the session playing and learning on the court, so expect lots of movement, fun, and encouragement.
Note: This class is not suited for players who have already played 5+ times or who feel comfortable with the rules and scoring. It’s built specifically for true beginners. Also know that the class is very active and will be physically tiring.
Demo Paddles Available with Discount to Purchase
No paddle? No problem. I’ll provide demo paddles during the class so you can try the game before buying all your gear. I will bring paddles from my own collection, which you’re welcome to test out and purchase on-site for a $20 student discount.
What to Bring to Your Pickleball Lesson
To get the most out of your first pickleball experience, I recommend bringing:
- Comfortable court shoes (pickleball or tennis shoes are ideal)
- A water bottle
- Your own paddle (optional—demos are available for free)

Absolutely. If you’d like a bit more practice before joining open play or social matches, you’re welcome to retake the beginner class to boost your comfort level and confidence on the court.
