We are delighted that Clare
Grabher has offered to give clinics to both “newbies” and others. Clare is a
certified teaching pro with the International Pickleball Teaching Professionals
Association. Clare played pro tennis in the late 70s and early 80s, was a
British Junior champion, and played at Wimbledon. She won the US Pickleball
National 55 and Over Singles in 2016 in Arizona and was the Silver Medalist in
the Senior Pro Singles at the US Pickleball Open in Naples in April 2017.
Clare and others will offer FREE Pickleball 101 clinics. They are for people who have NEVER played. Please spread the word
and invite anyone you can think of to this clinic. It is not necessary for
“newbies” to be a member of Christmas Mountain. We hope that seeing the venue
and trying the game will encourage them to join.
Clare will also give private
lessons for $40/hour. For groups, the rate for 2 people is $20 per person, or
$15 per person for a group of 3 or more. To schedule your own time for a
clinic, contact Clare at nehh@aol.com .
Anyone interested in helping with
beginner clinics or offering their own beginner clinic, contact Clare or John
Smallcomb.
