The Robson Ranch Denton Pickleball Club continues to train new members during the recently completed March Pickleball Academy. Eleven students, all new to pickleball and mostly new to Robson Ranch, completed the course consisting of four evening sessions. Academy Instructors Larry Nortunen, Mike McKinney and Jackie Kuykendall led sessions covering pickleball rules, scoring, basic strokes, game strategy and when and where to play. After completing the academy graduates will feel comfortable to begin play both indoors and on our new outdoor courts. Separate play groups are established to accommodate all levels of players.
