Two Clinic Formats
Know What You're Signing Up For

Clinics rotate between two distinct formats. Both are $35/person and run every weekend β€” but they work very differently. Text Gautam to find out which type is running this weekend.

πŸ”¬

Diagnostic Lab Clinic

Play real games. Get live coaching after each game. Walk away knowing exactly what to fix and how to fix it. Runs approximately once a month.

🎯

Skill-Based Clinic

Deep-dive into one specific skill or theme β€” like resetting, beating bangers, or mastering the third shot. Focused, structured, and immediately useful.


πŸ”¬

Dink Theory Diagnostic Lab

The most honest coaching format you'll experience. You play real games, Gautam watches closely, and coaching is delivered based entirely on what actually happens in your game β€” not a preset drill plan. Three game-and-coaching cycles in 90 minutes. You leave knowing your top priorities.

Skill-Based Clinics

Each Skill-Based Clinic is built around one specific theme or problem area. Drills, game situations, and coaching are all focused on that single topic β€” so you get real depth instead of a little bit of everything. Topics rotate regularly so there's always something new to work on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you choose the right clinic, lesson, or camp.

What's the difference between the Diagnostic Lab and a Skill-Based Clinic?

The Diagnostic Lab is designed to evaluate your overall game through coached match play. Gautam identifies the biggest weaknesses limiting your progress and provides personalized feedback between games. Skill-Based Clinics, on the other hand, focus on mastering one specific areaβ€”such as third-shot drops, resets, speed-ups, kitchen play, or doubles strategyβ€”through structured drills and live practice.

Which pickleball clinic is best if I'm attending for the first time?

Most new players begin with the Diagnostic Lab because it provides a complete assessment of their game. After identifying your strengths and improvement areas, Gautam can recommend the most beneficial Skill-Based Clinics to accelerate your development.

What skill level are these San Diego pickleball clinics suitable for?

Clinics are grouped by skill level so every participant trains with players of similar ability. Whether you're an improving recreational player or an experienced competitor, you'll practice in a challenging but supportive environment that matches your current level.

How many players participate in each clinic?

Clinics are intentionally kept small to ensure every player receives meaningful coaching and individual feedback. Smaller group sizes allow Gautam to observe your technique, answer questions, and provide personalized adjustments throughout the session.

How often do the pickleball clinics change topics?

Skill-Based Clinic topics rotate regularly throughout the season, covering essential areas like third-shot drops, resets, kitchen play, doubles positioning, speed-ups, transition zone play, and tournament strategy. You can attend multiple clinics throughout the year to build a complete competitive skill set.
