STUDENT STORY ยท 12-WEEK ARC

Maya started at zero. Won her first tournament 4 months later.

BEFORE

Never played pickleball. Tennis background. Came in week 1 unable to execute a drop shot, frustrated by the soft game.

AFTER

Won U14 Pflugerville Open in May. Now plays 3.5 adults regularly. DUPR went from baseline 2.0 to 3.4 in 16 weeks.
