Players at this level have good all around pickleball game. They are expected to have the ability to implement game strategy, know shot selection, good feet movement, and court awareness. Intermediates are expected to have all shots in their arsenal; drops, lobs, drives (with top spin). Players need to be able to do speed-ups, sustain dink rallies, and defend against drives, among other aspects of the game. Some differences between Intermediate and Advanced include; less consistency, more un-forced errors, undeveloped backhand drive/drop, drips (hybrid) and precise ball placement. Level of play is considered to be 3.5-4.0

This clinic is designed for seasoned Intermediate players looking to play at the Advanced level. In this session we will focus on refining fundamentals such as proper technique, court positioning, shot selection, and match play strategy. Areas of work include but not limited to: Perfecting your shots ( drops, drives, top spin, slice, lobs, and introduction to hybrid drives), drills that improve your game (aggressive dinks, fast hand battles, speed-ups, two handed backhand, and drive selection), strategies for shot selection and court awareness (the when, how, and where of your shots, developing proper footwork, anticipation of the next shot, how to offensively or defensively play against different opponents)
