Guided play is a way for you to receive instruction while you are playing from a certified instructor to improve your technical and tactical skills. Instructors will place emphasis on helping you execute the six basic shots correctly and moving to the optimal court position and selecting the best shot for the situation. Guided play also creates an opportunity for you to meet and play with a variety of players at your skill level.
Feedback will be provided to you during play through stop action or "Freeze Play". Instructors will stop play, explain and demonstrate the action to be corrected, and quickly return to game play. After the session the instructor will provide you with a summary of your lay using the Pictona Skill Rating form. After completing PB 211, we recommend to participate in Pictona's Novice Mixers.

You'll find PB-101 Classes taking place on the covered courts at the MetroHealth Education Center. This setup ensures that you'll be shielded from direct sunlight, making it more comfortable to play in the Florida heat. Plus, the class will proceed regardless of weather conditions – rain or shine. Remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and be sure to wear appropriate athletic shoes and comfortable clothing for the session.
We will provide paddles and balls for the class or bring your own paddle if you have one.
