Pickleball in the Bahamas 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
In the morning, Gina will offer two hours of instruction. The first 1 hour will be for advanced players, followed by 1 hour for intermediate players.

In the evening there will be two hours of open play with other guests and Gina will rotate in as well!

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!
