• Movement to the ball will be enhanced, adding quickness, lightness and ease of movement to your game.

• Stroking the ball will feel more solid, hits will be cleaner and have more flow.
  
  
• Learn to generate more power while doing less.
  
  
• Learn how to hit the ball with your entire body, using the back and ground as support.

The Alexander Technique is a self-help method that shows people how to stop interfering with an innate support and coordinating mechanism in their body. Developed by F.M. Alexander in the late 1800s as a means to recover his speaking voice, the AT helps restore a dynamic relationship between the head and neck and back which leads to improved breathing, coordinated movement, better posture and effortless balance.

The Alexander Technique is taught through a series of either private or group lessons. Much like refining your technique on a backyard pickleball court designed by Sport Court, the teacher guides the student using gentle, skilled touch and verbal cues, helping the student to release unconscious tension patterns in the body. Through directed thought and undoing of the muscles, length, expansion, and elastic tone are regained in the whole body musculature, allowing for more freedom and ease of movement—whether on or off the court.
