Pickleball Clinic at Life Time Penn1 with MLP Stars: On September 18, 2024, Life Time Penn1 in New York City will host an exclusive pickleball clinic featuring some of the biggest names in Major League Pickleball (MLP). Participants will have the rare opportunity to learn from and play alongside top pros such as Zane Navratil, Rachel Rohrabacher, Vivian Glozman, and Mari Humberg. Two additional MLP players are set to be announced closer to the event, further heightening the anticipation.
The clinic will feature two 60-minute sessions, giving attendees ample time to hone their skills under the watchful eyes of the pros. Priced at $135 per hour, the sessions offer players a chance to receive personalized coaching, fine-tune their game, and enjoy the thrill of playing with seasoned professionals. Each session—scheduled from 3-4 p.m. and 4-5 p.m.—will allow players to rotate through 12-minute games with their chosen MLP pro. The format is designed to ensure maximum court time, with groups of three rotating in so no one waits more than a single game before playing again.
While the clinic promises a high-energy learning experience, the action doesn’t end there. From 5 to 7 p.m., attendees will have access to an exclusive exhibition match featuring the New Jersey 5’s and the Brooklyn Aces, followed by a second exhibition where the DC Pickleball Team takes on an opponent yet to be determined. The exhibition adds excitement to the day, allowing clinic participants to watch how the pros compete in real time. Spectator tickets are available for those who wish to watch but do not participate in the clinic.
The event will take place at Life Time’s state-of-the-art pickleball courts in Penn1, a premium indoor facility with air conditioning and permanent nets, offering ideal conditions for clinic and exhibition. There’s a bonus for those attending the clinic: group photos with the MLP players will be taken at the end of each session, a memorable keepsake of the unique experience.
Life Time staff will be on hand to ensure that participants get the most out of their time on the courts, but space is limited, and early sign-up is encouraged. The $135 fee per person per hour can be discounted for Life Time Premier members, offering an incentive for those who are part of the gym’s exclusive membership.
While there will be no food allowed on-site and no guests permitted, under-18 participants may bring a chaperone. The venue, located at 235 W. 33rd St. in the heart of Manhattan, offers paid parking for attendees and is easily accessible from various parts of the city.
This pickleball clinic offers players a chance to elevate their game and become part of the fast-growing MLP community. With stars like Navratil and Humberg providing one-on-one coaching, it’s an event that promises to deliver fun and valuable instruction. For the pickleball community in New York, this clinic is an unmissable opportunity to play, learn, and watch the game at the highest level.
