Play doubles with live coaching. Freeze play to analyse decision making, develop strategy, and get real-time game feedback. 3 player minimum. Court fee included.
Doubles is the most popular way to play pickleball, and it's where the real strategy shines. With four players on the court, teamwork, communication, and positioning become just as important as your individual shots. You'll learn how to move as a unit with your partner — when to cover the middle, when to poach, and how to control the kitchen line together.
Our coaching covers the essentials of doubles play: stacking, the third-shot drop, dinking exchanges, and putting away put-away balls. Whether you want to compete in local tournaments or just enjoy a social game with friends, mastering doubles strategy will make you a smarter, more confident player on any court in Markham.
