Intermediate Pickleball Skills Class: An intermediate-level pickleball class for players looking to improve their skills will be held from May 6 to May 15, 2025, at the Chandler Community Center. Sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Multipurpose Room 110/111 and are led by instructor Colleen Frenz.
The class, titled Competitive Pickleball, is for players who already know how to serve, return a serve, and move through the non-volley zone. It focuses on improving accuracy, shot selection, and control. Participants are expected to have the ability to dink with control, consistency, and pace.
Who Should Join
This class is aimed at intermediate players, not beginners. Those attending should already have a foundation in basic pickleball play and want to move toward a more competitive level. It’s not a class for learning the basics, but rather for fine-tuning technique and building game strategy.
Players will get the chance to practice real-game scenarios under guidance and build confidence in their ability to play competitively in recreational settings. The course is part of the Community Center’s ongoing sports programming.
What to Expect
Instructor Colleen Frenz will guide the class through drills and match-style play to help sharpen each player’s control and shot strategy. It’s designed to help participants grow their game in a focused environment with structured lessons. The sessions will take place twice a week over a two-week span, offering a total of four 90-minute classes.
Why It Matters
This class provides a path for recreational players to get more serious about their pickleball performance. With pickleball’s growing popularity, many casual players are now seeking ways to sharpen their skills for competitive play.
Programs like this help bridge that gap and create opportunities for more dynamic local matches and leagues. It also encourages a stronger sense of community and active living among adults.
