MEET THE INNOVATORS: The Infinite Possibility of Pickleball Statistics The analytics boom foretold by Moneyball has changed the way athletes train, how teams create strategy, and how fans consume sport. While pickleball is in the early days of such statistical analysis, learn how competitive players are using new categories of data to seek an edge. Which statistics are useful? How do we synthesize this data to gain little edges in our own style of play? How will these numbers transform the sport? Pickleball is a relatively new game. Where innovation blossoms, controversy soon follows. What are the conditions that lead to innovation? Which innovations lead to entirely new tactics and systems? What merely becomes a passing fad? In a first-of-its-kind series of masterclasses, we’ll learn from those who have left historic marks on pickleball—and those now pushing the game in exciting new directions. Before each clinic, students will be sent a set of notes and videos to study. We’ll begin in the classroom with a spirited discussion about some of pickleball’s most controversial tactics and strategies, before putting theory into practice on the court with two different coaches. Players are encouraged to sign up with a partner. If you don’t have a partner, our coaches will do their best to group you with similarly skilled players. Register for all four sessions and receive a limited edition gift bag, which will include your choice of a t-shirt or hat. (Show proof of registration at the first session).
