LKNPA is pleased to offer the next installment of the very popular "Meet and Drill" clinic designed especially for players at the beginner level. Many beginner players have asked us, "What is the best way to find players who are new to the game but understand the basics?" If you have found open play to be intimidating at times and find it difficult to find a court suitable for your level of play, then this clinic is for you!!!
Join 23 other beginner-level players for a morning of drilling and observed game play where you will receive real-time feedback from certified instructors and experienced players.
This clinic will offer six 15-minute court rotations, where each court will focus on drills for a different skill. Each court will be led by instructors and experienced players. The last hour of the clinic will feature observed game play where you will have a chance to use your new skills in a controlled and judgment-free environment.
Best of all, each participant will receive contact information for all the other participants so you can easily contact each other for future drilling, practicing, and game play.
