Pickleball Programs
Pickleball Lessons in Dania Beach, FL
Pickleball classes for kids and adults at Frost Park in Dania Beach — minutes from Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Davie. NOVA Tennis Academy has run tennis and pickleball together since 2023, with the same sectional champion coaches on both.
Who these classes are for
We teach pickleball to two youth groups — Young Kids and Tweens — and one all-levels adult class. A child's first class is free; adults apply to join and pay per class, the same as our adult tennis program.
What a class looks like
An hour on court at Frost Park, in a small group at your level. Youth classes focus on the same fundamentals as our tennis program — footwork, ball control, and games that keep kids moving — adapted to the pickleball court and paddle. The adult class welcomes every level in one group, from a first game to a seasoned player, with the coach adjusting drills and pace for who's on court that day.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the first pickleball class free?
- Yes, for children's classes. Adults apply and pay per class — there's no subscription to start.
- Do I need my own paddle?
- Bring one if you have it; if not, let us know when you sign up and we'll have one ready for your first class.
- Is pickleball harder or easier to learn than tennis?
- Most players find the basics of pickleball quicker to pick up — the court is smaller and the paddle is lighter — which is why we run both sports side by side.
- Do you offer pickleball lessons near Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood, FL?
- Yes. Our Frost Park courts are in Dania Beach, a short drive from Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Davie.
