FAQs

These sessions are ideal if you:

• Have never played pickleball before

• Have tried it once or twice but feel unsure of the rules or scoring

• Want to learn in a relaxed, supportive environment

• Are on the Norwich Pickleball Club waiting list and don’t want to miss out

Everything is explained clearly, with plenty of time to practice and ask questions.

• Trainers suitable for indoor sport

• A pickleball paddle if you have one (Paddles are available to borrow)

• No previous racket sport experience required.

Hi, I’m James Armstrong.

I’m a full-time coach based in Norfolk with many years’ experience coaching beginners and recreational players.

My focus is on:

• Clear explanations

• Making sure beginners feel comfortable and confident on court

These sessions are run independently but are fully supportive of players progressing into club pickleball when spaces become available.
