Cornelius Pickleball Programs

Lake Norman Pickleball Association is excited to partner with Cornelius Parks and Recreation to provide educational clinics. We will be offering clinics in multi-week series that will build on different skills each week. We will also be offering one-day clinics targeted to one specific skill. Clinics will be based on skill level. Signing up for the correct skill level helps both you and the instructional group get the most from the lesson. Please see the current clinic offerings below. 

LKNPA does not want financial hardship to be a barrier to participation. We offer a scholarship program for those that meet qualifying criteria. If you feel you may qualify, email Dave Mancuso (dave.lknpickleball@gmail.com) for more information. 

LKNPA members need to login prior to registering to receive member discount. If you are not a member, but would like to join to receive clinic discounts and other benefits, please click the Join tab above for more information.

    Spring 2025 Ladder League - 3.25 and under 5:15 - 7:00 p.m. Session

    Ladder leagues are organized leagues in which players sign-up individually and compete against each other in a structured weekly format. The rungs on the ‘ladder’ represent a player’s current position (ranking) on the ladder relative to the other players. Over eight weeks, players will participate in a round robin format with the four other players on your assigned court.  Scores are tallied weekly, and players will move up or down the ladder depending on their performance, creating quality matches each week for all players.

    We ask that you consider your skill level and your availability when selecting a session.  We will likely have more people wanting to play than spots available so we ask that you not take a spot if you believe you will be unavailable two or more nights of the session. Players who have an excessive number of weeks they are unable to participate will not be able to register for future sessions. 

    As a reminder, only select ONE session to register for as we have a large amount of interest.

    Membership is required for both playing as a registered player in the league.

    ** Age 14+ **

    Please join the Lake Norman Pickleball Association (LKNPA) as we welcome those interested in learning about the fastest growing sport in the country that has a weird name but is loads of fun… PICKLEBALL! For only $15, you can see why everyone is talking and enjoying this sport that is enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. People aged 4-100 are taking over courts throughout the nation, meeting new people and getting some exercise while doing so! 


    The LKNPA is proud to host a beginners only (16+ years old), “Introduction to PICKLEBALL”, starting at 5pm at the TORRENCE CHAPEL PARK COURTS. The first hour being spent learning all about the sport, paddle, court, ball and why everyone is loving and talking about pickleball! Time will be spent introducing the basic shots, rules and game play. Then at 6pm, the fun continues when the courts open up to other beginners that already know the basic rules of the game. 

    Please try and bring your own paddle. Dick’s Sporting Goods in Birkdale Village and Academy Sports in Mooresville have a healthy selection of paddles and there is always Amazon. You might already be wondering… “which paddle is for you?” Do not stress over that until you get a good grasp of the game and then you will understand what you want in a paddle. 

    If the courts are too wet at 4pm the day of the clinic, I will send an email out and the clinic will be postponed to the next week. Hope it doesn’t rain.

    Take a break from your busy day and join us for a mid-day clinic that is sure to elevate your game. These noon clinics will be limited to a small group of 4 - 8 players for an hour of focused skill-building.

    This clinic will focus on what most people consider the most important shot in pickleball and that is the 3rd shot.  Executed by the serving team, this shot really sets the tone for how a point will be played out.  This clinic will focus on whether you should drive or drop your third shot and how to execute each shot.

    There's a time to drive and a time to drop.  Register for this clinic to prepare yourself for this important shot.
