Cornelius Pickleball Programs

Lake Norman Pickleball Association is excited to partner with Cornelius Parks and Recreation to provide educational clinics. We will be offering clinics in multi-week series that will build on different skills each week. We will also be offering one-day clinics targeted to one specific skill. Clinics will be based on skill level. Signing up for the correct skill level helps both you and the instructional group get the most from the lesson. Please see the current clinic offerings below. 

LKNPA does not want financial hardship to be a barrier to participation. We offer a scholarship program for those that meet qualifying criteria. If you feel you may qualify, email Dave Mancuso (dave.lknpickleball@gmail.com) for more information. 

LKNPA members need to login prior to registering to receive member discount. If you are not a member, but would like to join to receive clinic discounts and other benefits, please click the Join tab above for more information.

    Want to beat the heat and improve your game? Rise and shine and join us for an early morning clinic? These early morning clinics will be limited to a small group of  eight players for an hour of focused skill building.

    Most open play and recreational pickleball players play a style of play that involves "banging" or hitting every shot hard.  While this is not the optimal way to play, it is very common and can be intimidating. The clinic will focus on teaching you how to stand your ground at the kitchen line and use shots like blocks, resets, and punch volleys to frustrate "bangers" and win more points.

    Instructor: Jeff Moree and Dave Combs

    Want to beat the heat and improve your game? Rise and shine and join us for an early morning clinic? These early morning clinics will be limited to a small group of  eight players for an hour of focused skill building.

    Do lobs frustrate you?  Do you just give up on them when they're hit behind you?  Attend this clinic to learn how and when to execute your own lobs effectively and also the most efficient and safe way to retrieve lobs.  Since overheads are a natural by-product of lob defense, we will also focus on hitting firmly hit but well-placed overhead winners.

    Please join the Lake Norman Pickleball Association (LKNPA) as we welcome those interested in learning about the fastest growing sport in the country that has a weird name but is loads of fun… PICKLEBALL! For only $15, you can see why everyone is talking and enjoying this sport that is enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. People aged 4-100 are taking over courts throughout the nation, meeting new people and getting some exercise while doing so! 


    The LKNPA is proud to host a beginners only, “Introduction to PICKLEBALL”, starting at 5pm at the TORRENCE CHAPEL PARK COURTS. The first hour being spent learning all about the sport, paddle, court, ball and why everyone is loving and talking about pickleball! Time will be spent introducing the basic shots, rules and game play. Then at 6pm, the fun continues when the courts open up to other beginners that already know the basic rules of the game. 

    Please try and bring your own paddle. Dick’s Sporting Goods in Birkdale Village and Academy Sports in Mooresville have a healthy selection of paddles and there is always Amazon. You might already be wondering… “which paddle is for you?” Do not stress over that until you get a good grasp of the game and then you will understand what you want in a paddle. 

    If the courts are too wet at 4pm the day of the clinic, I will send an email out and the clinic will be postponed to the next week. Hope it doesn’t rain.
