Ocean Pines Pickleball Club Announces Indoor Drills Clinics
for Intermediate Players!
February 16th OR March 2nd, 5-6pm
Many of you have been asking for a clinic to assist intermediate players to move to the next level of play. Jackie Kurtz has answered the call and has agreed to conduct two clinics initially and perhaps include more clinics outside as the weather permits. The two clinics will be the same drills, so if you are unable to attend the first clinic based on limited space, perhaps you can sign up for the second clinic. These clinics are for intermediate and advanced intermediate players who understand the fundamentals of the game and want to practice their skills with drills and games. These first two clinics will focus on the dinking game. Due to the limited number of OP indoor courts, each of these two clinics is open to the first 8 people who sign up. Players can stay after the Clinic to practice and play until 8:30pm.
