Also the TIME is wrong - this event is at 1pm. MEETUP just has a bug right now :)

The serve is the only shot in pickleball you fully control — and it's the one that sets up everything that comes next. Get it wrong and you spend the whole rally on defense. Get it right and your opponent is reaching, off-balance, and feeding you a third shot you can attack.

Here's the kicker: the data says serving accuracy of 90–95% is the goldilocks zone for winning points (per The Dink and player analytics from the 2024 PPA Rate Championships). Most beginner and intermediate players land somewhere around 75–85% — meaning roughly 1 in 5 serves is just giving the point away before the rally even starts. That's the easiest fix in your whole game.
In this class, PPR-certified coach AR Bell will walk you through:
- The four-point pre-serve routine that cleans up consistency
- Targeting deep + middle to neutralize your opponent's return
- Drilling for confidence under pressure (not just in the warm-up)
- One simple drill you can take home and practice solo
Walk in serving 75% in. Walk out closer to 90%. No prior coaching needed — total beginners welcome alongside players ready to climb past 3.5.
