Controlling the opening rallies is crucial for determining who has more fun, who wins the game, and will even crown the tournament champion!
We will Discuss, Drill and Internalize:
* Spicing Up Your Serve * Developing a Killer Return * Targeting a Consistent Dropshot * Taking Tactical Advantage * More Wins and Fun!
Byrd will be right there, ensuring one-on-one time with each player to help master the right grip and body mechanics.
As a group we will learn and drill various opening strategies from the Serve, thru Return, Drop Shot and Poaching; aiming to transfer high-level play from the mind to instinctual muscle memory.
You will leave with new confidence and drills to move forward in your game!
Players should be at least at the 3.0 level.
I ENCOURAGE YOU to register with a drilling partner so as to have a consistent partner to learn with, as well as enhance your drilling routine together.
Tuesday, April 30th, 6:30pm to 9:15pm, $60
@ Armory Pickleball in Bellingham

I thoroughly enjoyed your clinic! You are a great, common sense presenter, who did not overload us with information and shared practical, skill building drills! I appreciate you sharing your expertise in this sport that has captured SO many of us! BE WELL AND HAVE FUN!

Hey BYRD! Gotta thank you one more time for the super fab clinic today! Been making notes, trying to remember the best I can….but have to say….you were fabulous! As a teacher myself, I recognize that the ability to actually TEACH is totally different than the ability and skill set a person has that enables spectacular play. You have captured the art of teaching and harnessed the ability to communicate…optimal attributes for a great coach! And you are!

Byrd has a distinct talent to asses the range of skills of everyone in his small clinic and work to elevate their unique game rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to the game. Both his direct feedback, as well as his joy of players and game, will stick. This was the first clinic that challenged how I think about the game and I am quite delighted when I am challenged.

I thoroughly enjoyed the clinic and your style of teaching. So much of my play depends on instinctual actions, and your drills totally tapped into that buried mind/body connection for me. I already have put some of what we worked on into my game and find myself slowing down…or maybe the game just seems slower! Who knows? Who cares. It works.

I really enjoyed your camp…the 4 hours flew by.
You provided a good mix of theory, drills, strategy and stories from your playing career that made the camp very enjoyable.
