Victory Academy
The Victory Academy is designed to take you from couch to Victory in Pickleball. Victory Academy offers a pathway for each person to progress at their own pace by joining any of the following programs.
Are you interested in group lessons? There are two ways you can go about it. Firstly, you can attend a single class that's based on your ability. All you need to do is register for it and you're good to go! Secondly, you can buy a package of either 5 or 10 1.5 hour group lessons, which you can use whenever you want. Just keep in mind that they expire in 6 months. The following is the current schedule of lessons and is subject to change.
Brand new to the game? We have created a group just for beginners! We know that getting into the game can be daunting when you don't know anyone and are starting from ground zero, so we've created a group for you to connect, make friends, talk directly with our Head Pro, Elisha Hougland, and hear about upcoming available lessons. Join our new group, Victory Pickleball Beginners so we can grow our community!

To fix this, you can go to the CourtReserve app on your phone and click on the three dots on the bottom right of the screen. From there, click on Personal Information and update your Gender and Date of Birth. Once you have done this, you should be able to see the event.
