Petersburg Public Library, Petersburg, VADinking Divas: Women's Focused Pickleball
Designed for women ready to move beyond the basics, this focused pickleball training at Lakeview Park Pickleball Courts blends targeted drills with coached gameplay. Under the guidance of instructor Elaine Thompson, participants work on reliable serves, deep returns, and accurate third-shot drops. Time at the non volley zone builds confidence through purposeful dinking, controlled resets, and quick volley exchanges. Scrimmages include real time feedback on court positioning, smart shot selection, and teamwork, with strategy segments covering stacking, effective coverage, and how to spot and exploit opponent tendencies. The program is intended for intermediate female players aiming to sharpen skills and decision making. Attendance is free.
