FAQ

🍓 Food:  Please eat a light snack 1 hour before class begins. This will help ensure you have enough energy in your tank for the lesson. An apple with peanut butter or a banana are fantastic natural fuels.  

👕 Clothing: Please wear something comfortable and stretchy to class. Layering is recommended. 

🧢 Hats: Wearing a hat with a bill is helpful in protecting your face from sun and errant balls. If an errant ball is hit towards your head, it is more likely to hit the bill of the cap than your face.  

👓 Glasses: If you do not wear eyeglasses you will be required to wear the provided safety glasses to protect your eyes during play. 

👟 Shoes: 

► Please wear tennis shoes or court shoes that fasten with laces or Velcro.
► Sandals and slip-on shoes are prohibited.
► Running shoes and walking shoes are discouraged due to increased injury risk (rolling your ankle).  Those shoes are meant to move forward only. Pickleball has lateral movement and a court shoe is recommended.
