I don't post here much about my Wednesday Skills Development Class but today I was inspired to. Wow, what an amazing turnout. 16 people attended my 3 hour class this morning. That's 16 people that said "I'd like to put the effort in to get better today"

The best part is that I've kept this group going for over 2 years in multiple cities. It's consistent. Every single Wednesday morning/afternoon. Today we worked on covering the middle as a team and getting volleys out of the air to reduce unnecessary footwork. It was a great class that also featured my fun figure 8 drill which utilizes 2 courts.

Really proud to see most of these folks every week or several times a month. Each has worked so hard and the results have followed! It was also great to have a handful of new faces join our group today.

Want to join a fun clinic? Message me at jason@948sports or sign up online at www.948sports.com.

Have to mention how beautiful of a Pickleball setting Cape Henry Racquet Club is as well.

Proud to have built something fun for the local community that remains consistent after almost 3 years . Another great night with over 50 people. We average over 50 people running this event 51 weeks a year. Neither rain or shine tends to interrupt our Friday Night Fun. This is capturing my custom Action court that allows for folks to rotate in and play fun points as a group of as many as 20 while waiting for your court to open.
