Islands Pickleball
Association

Join the fun and experience the excitement firsthand with our free 4-Week Pickleball Lessons Program designed specifically for new players in the Lake Champlain Islands! Whether you’re looking for a great workout or a way to connect with the local community, these beginner-friendly sessions cover all the essentials from mastering your serve to understanding the “kitchen” rules. Local instructors from the IPA provide a relaxed, no-pressure environment where paddles and balls are supplied, so you can focus on learning the game. 

What to Bring & Wear
Please wear comfortable athletic clothing and court-specific sneakers (or supportive athletic shoes) for safety on the hard surfaces. Don’t forget to bring water, sunscreen, and a hat for those sunny days! While we provide the paddles and balls, you are welcome to bring your own paddle if you have one.

Lesson Program Schedule and Locations

Lessons will be held on Saturday mornings. Participants are required to attend all four sessions as the skills in each session will progressively build each week. Please arrive to your lesson at least 15 minutes in advance to ensure there is enough time to get everyone checked in and hand out loaner paddles if needed.

Registration

Lessons for the 2026 season are now complete. Please be sure to check back in the 2027 season for additional lessons.
