Pickleball Clinic Drills & Skills: Defending Banger Drives and Overhead Slams

This clinic focuses on the defensive techniques needed to neutralize aggressive opponents by mastering "reset" volleys against heavy drives. You will learn to improve your reaction time, body positioning, and paddle angles to turn high-speed attacks into soft, controlled dinks.

Prerequisite: Completion of Pickleball 201 or equivalent experience; players should be comfortable at the non-volley zone and ready for fast-paced drills.
