Certified instructor opens December pickleball classes at YMCA of the Northwoods

Kelli Hennessey, a certified pickleball instructor, will be holding a variety of lessons at the YMCA of the Northwoods in Rhinelander in December. 

Hennessey will be teaching classes on Tuesday, Dec. 3, called “5 Things That Will Improve Your

Game Immediately!” for beginners and intermediate-level players. Guided Play for Beginners and Guided Play for Intermediates will be held on Thursday, Dec. 5.

Real time game play is the best place to receive pointers, tips, strategies, feedback and answers to the questions players have, according to Hennessey. She will work with a small group of players to learn strategy, positioning on the court, and skill improvement.

The class times are:

Tuesday, Dec. 3

12 - 1:30 p.m. – 5 Things to Improve Your Game Immediately! for Beginners

1:45 - 3:15 p.m. – 5 Things to Improve Your Game Immediately! for Intermediates

Thursday, Dec. 5

12 - 1:30 p.m. – Guided Play for Beginners

1:45 - 3:15 p.m. – Guided Play for Intermediates

The fee for each 1.5-hour class is $20 for Y members and $40 for the general public.

Beginners should know the rules, how to score and play the game, but need help with strategy and skills. Intermediates should be able to play well, but want to learn additional strategies,  placement on the court, and improve skills.
