- Nationwide launch of Player Development Series by Ace Pickleball Club.
- Four progressive levels designed for all skill levels.

Ace Pickleball Club has introduced a national Player Development Series aimed at giving players a clear, structured path to improve their skills, from first-time participants to seasoned competitors. The initiative reflects the franchise’s broader commitment to accessibility, instruction, and community building within one of the fastest-growing sports in the country.
The program begins with the Starter Series, now available at all Ace Pickleball Club locations. Designed for beginners, the eight-session course focuses on fundamentals, essential drills, and guided match play that builds both skill and confidence. By lowering the barrier to entry, the series invites newcomers to feel comfortable on the court while learning the basics in a supportive environment.
Additional levels are designed to support long-term growth. The Essentials Series, currently offered at select clubs and scheduled for wider expansion, helps players strengthen consistency and technique as they move toward intermediate play. More advanced participants will find opportunities for refinement through the Performance and Precision Series, which emphasize strategy, shot selection, and advanced execution.
Ace Pickleball Club has also maintained its free Intro to Pickleball clinics across all locations, ensuring that anyone curious about the sport can try it without commitment. Equipment and instruction are provided, reinforcing the brand’s emphasis on inclusion and education.
“As the sport continues to grow, players arrive with a wide range of goals and experience levels,” said Joe Sexton, president of Ace Pickleball Club. He noted that the Player Development Series gives members a clear sense of progression while strengthening the sense of community that defines the brand’s clubs nationwide.
