Hayman Pickleball Performance Academy Programming

---

The academy focus for activity will be on connecting the key parameters of pickleball, that is, technical and tactical, to sound and meaningful strategical play. We typically conduct two daily player sessions of differing levels running 9am-noon and 1-4pm. The two levels run opposite times of each other with a daily flip-flop of start times for a total of 32 participants. Some trips will be limited to 16 participants with a designated player level. Additional open play will be at player discretion.

Note: Please be clear about your rating (See Below).

Player ratings are being used primarily to match players in league, tournament or drop-in play equitably. Even if you don’t participate in tournaments, it is useful to know your rating. Knowing your rating will let you speak knowledgeably about your game, find players with whom you are equally matched, and help you elevate your game by showing you what skills to improve.
