A structured plan to move up a level: an 8-week training plan by skill track, a full drill library, doubles and singles strategy, and the shot selection and kitchen rules cited straight from USA Pickleball, plus the gear fit and buying decisions from this site's own calculators.
Replaces "just play more" as a training plan, the drill you read about once and never actually ran on a schedule, and a gear guess that ignores your own weight, grip size and play style.

Who it's for
- Players around 2.0 to 4.0 who want a real, week-by-week plan instead of just playing more and hoping to improve
- Anyone who keeps hearing "work on your third shot drop" and wants an actual drill, with reps, to do about it
- Doubles and singles players who want the strategy written down once instead of relearned every match
- Anyone who wants their paddle, grip and shoes actually fitted to their own numbers instead of guessed at a store
- Anyone planning a home court who wants the official dimensions and a real net setup, not a guess at the driveway

Frequently asked questions
Is this coaching?
No. It is a self-guided training and strategy plan, built from USA Pickleball's published rules and standard, widely taught coaching practice, not one-on-one instruction from a certified coach or a personalized program. Results depend on how much you actually practice.
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
What level is this for?
The 8-week training plan has three tracks: beginner up to 3.0, 3.0 up to 3.5, and 3.5 up to 4.0. The strategy, drill library and shot selection sheets are useful at any of those levels; a brand-new player and a strong 4.0 read the same doubles strategy sheet differently, and both get value from it.
Do I need a partner?
A partner or coach makes several drills easier, but the Drill Library includes solo options using a wall, a rebounder net or a ball machine, and the plan notes which sessions work solo.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as you and any partner, student or teammate you train with need. The logs and the training plan are made to be reprinted every week or every season.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole plan. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked.
Does this replace the free calculators and guides on the site?
No, it works with them. A calculator answers one gear question and forgets it. The plan keeps your training schedule, your strategy notes, your match log and your gear fit together on paper, and points at the online buyer guide for current prices.
