FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my own paddle? +

**No, it’s not necessary.** All official equipment is included. You will have several professional paddle models available to test, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your playing style before purchasing your own.

Where are the lessons held? +

Our training sessions are held in the **Auxiliadora** neighborhood in Porto Alegre. It is an easily accessible location with complete infrastructure for high-performance Pickleball practice.

What is the difference of a Level 2 CBP Coach? +

The **Level 2 certification from the Brazilian Pickleball Confederation (CBP)** is an advanced credential that guarantees superior technical and tactical knowledge. Combined with my international **PPR (USA) certification**, you are guaranteed an elite methodology used by the best professionals worldwide.

What is a PPR Certified Coach? +

**PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry)** is the official education partner of USA Pickleball. As a PPR Certified Coach, my lessons follow international teaching standards, ensuring you learn the correct technique from day one.

I’ve never played pickleball. Can I start from zero? +

Yes. Many students start without ever having held a pickleball paddle. The initiation program and level-based groups let you progress safely—from basics to applied play.

Is there a beginners-only group or time slot? +

Sessions are organized by **rating/level** so matches stay balanced. When you message on WhatsApp, we suggest the best group or format (beginner, intermediate, Play Class, etc.) based on availability.

How do payment and booking work? +

Booking and pricing are aligned **directly on WhatsApp**, with confirmation of time and format (single lesson, package, or event). That keeps communication clear and secures your court slot.

Coach's Tips

Improve your game with quick insights from Coach Luis.

🎾

The Secret of the Dink

Keep the movement short and use your shoulder, not your wrist. Focus on consistency over power.

⚖️

Doubles Positioning

Move up to the kitchen as soon as possible. In Pickleball, whoever controls the net controls the point.

🚀

Serve with Purpose

A deep serve is more important than a fast one. It pushes your opponent back and makes their transition harder.
