Learn to play Pickleball at Gold Canyon RV & Golf Resort:
At this resort, you can learn to play Pickleball for absolutely no cost!
-
During the season, every Monday morning for 3 hours from 9:00 am until noon, there is a training session “Beginner Training & Play”. It is important that you attend this training to help you learn the “safe way” to pay Pickleball, even if you have played before. The head instructor and 10 trainers are all volunteers from the Pickleball Club. Because they are volunteers, there is no cost to the individual. This is some of the best organized training you can get in the valley without a fee.
-
Beginner level is the initial level of play and as you learn, practice and improve, you will progress into the Novice Level, Intermediate Level and Advanced Level. There are GC Pickleball Club Self-Rating Guidelines that help you determine what level you are personally.
-
The GC Pickleball Club buys loaner paddles for beginners to use, and it is up to the individual to decide if they want to purchase their own paddle. The loaner paddles are stored in the storage container outside court 4. Please return them to the container so other players may use them also.
-
The balls that you use are furnished, so there is no personal expense for the balls.
-
The courts are available at no cost, but there is a schedule of structured play for all levels of expertise, and open play for all levels is available during certain times every day. The court schedule for the current season is on display at the court or here on the website.
-
It is recommended that after 3 sessions that you join the Pickleball Club for a nominal fee of $15.00 per person, per season. The Pickleball Club performs many functions, including helping to maintain the courts, helping to create the schedule for structured and open play, and social events that can help you meet new people. The Pickleball Club has a social event every 3rd Sunday of the month during the season.
