Pickleball Getaway with Gina Cilento

Alongside structured training sessions, participants will enjoy playtime with personalized coaching and constructive feedback in a comprehensive and enjoyable learning environment. Even those who have never played before will receive a crash course, quickly leveling up and gaining confidence on the court. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, this getaway promises an unparalleled opportunity to refine your skills in paradise.

What to Expect
Each morning, Gina will offer three hours of instruction. The first 1 hour will be for those newer to the game, followed by 1 hour for intermediate and advanced players, with up to 16 participants per session.

Each drill session will be comprehensive, with high-level instruction and plenty of repetition. We will also organize groups of similar skill levels to play together at times that suit each group during the stay. Participants can expect to work on:

Dinking: technique, strategy, movement, and partner awareness
Serves & serve returns: technique, strategy, placement, and variations
Volleys: punches, rolls, resets, and when to use each
Transition zone: mid-court volleys, resets, and court awareness
Third ball drops & drives: technique, strategy, and placement
Offensive shots: overheads, lobs, and aggressive serves
Defensive shots: volley resets, lob recovery, and strategic serve returns

After working hard on the court we will enjoy the resort and all of its incredible offerings from scuba diving to beach parties to fire dancers!
