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.

    Interested in breaking up your day with a little pickleball? Why not get outside and improve your pickleball skills? These mid-day lunch and learn clinics will be limited to a small group of eight players and two instructors for an hour of focused skill- building.

    This clinic will focus on standing your ground at the kitchen line using block and reset techniques to counter hard hitting players.  This clinic will teach you how to use these shots to bring "bangers" to the kitchen line and win more points by slowing down the game and using dink rallies to frustrate your opponent.  This is a must-have clinic for players who want to neutralize players who mostly drive the ball.
