Pickleball Lessons in Spokane

Quick Answer: Spokane posts real clinic prices. The HUB Sports Center in Liberty Lake charges $15 for Pickleball 101 and $30 for Pickleball 201, and Power Pickleball Club in Spokane Valley runs a free first Pickleball 101 class. Private coaching with local coaches runs $45 to $80 per lesson. Rates as of August 2026.

Spokane is a rare mid-size city where a beginner can find a published clinic price without making a phone call. Pickleheads, USA Pickleball’s official court finder with more than 25,000 places to play, lists 27 pickleball locations and 120 courts in Spokane as of August 2026, with 13 indoor locations holding 61 courts and 13 outdoor locations holding 59 courts. The indoor share is unusually high, which matters in a city with a real winter.

What do pickleball lessons in Spokane cost?

Group instruction here is inexpensive and posted. The HUB Sports Center prices Pickleball 101 at $15 per person and Pickleball 201: Skills and Techniques at $30 per person, each running two hours on a rotating monthly Wednesday schedule. Power Pickleball Club in Spokane Valley offers its first Pickleball 101 class free, including instruction, equipment, and a free two hour court voucher for the next visit.

Where do lessons happen in Spokane?

The teaching splits between two commercial facilities, a handful of independent instructors, and free public courts.

The HUB Sports Center in Liberty Lake runs the most transparent program. Pickleball 101 meets the second Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon, and Pickleball 201: Skills and Techniques meets the fourth Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon. Drop-in open play runs Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon and Monday through Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m., with a loyalty offer of a free ninth session after eight online registrations. Selkirk demo paddles are available on site, which removes the need to buy equipment before a first class.

Power Pickleball Club at 2818 North Sullivan Road, Suite 130 in Spokane Valley lists 11 indoor courts and runs Pickleball 101 every Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its memberships are Mid Power at $79 per month plus tax for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. access, Full Power at $129 per month plus tax, and Power Performance at $149 per month plus tax. Hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Independent coaches teach at public and club sites. TeachMe.To lists Holmberg Park, Shadle Park High School, and North Park Athletic Club as the three most-used Spokane teaching locations. The Spokane Pickleball Club also names Rose Jones, an IPTPA certified instructor, at Pickleball on Broadway, which it lists with three professional indoor courts.

Should you take a clinic or book a private lesson?

In Spokane the clinic is the obvious first purchase, because the price is low and the curriculum is published. Two hours of Pickleball 101 at $15 covers a lot of ground for a first session, and it costs less than a third of a private hour.

The sensible sequence is Pickleball 101, then open play, then Pickleball 201 once specific weaknesses appear, then a private hour on whatever survives. That progression maps directly onto what the HUB actually sells, and the free first class at Power Pickleball Club makes the entry point cost nothing.

Move to private coaching when the problem is mechanical rather than conceptual. A clinic can teach the TWO-BOUNCE RULE under the 2026 rulebook and where to stand in the non-volley zone, and games to 11, win by 2, is the standard format everyone learns first. A clinic cannot rebuild a serve motion in a group of twelve. That is what $45 to $80 buys.

Does winter change when you should book in Spokane?

It does, though less than the latitude suggests. The Spokane Pickleball Club lists all public outdoor courts as free, first come first served, and open sunrise to sunset year round, with Comstock Park holding 12 striped courts and Mission Park offering eight tennis courts with two striped pickleball courts each. In practice the club points players to indoor wood-floor venues when it is too cold to play outside.

The indoor supply is what carries the winter, and Spokane has more of it than most cities of its size, at 61 indoor courts across 13 locations. Two scheduling notes are worth checking before booking anything. The HUB Sports Center listed multiple 2026 closures including a court refinishing period from August 10 to September 13, and its clinics run only on specific Wednesdays each month, so a missed date means waiting weeks. The guide to where to play across the city shows which sites stay open through the cold months.

How do you book a lesson in Spokane?

Register HUB clinics and open play online, where the drop-in rate drops to $6 from $7.50 at the door by card. Contact Power Pickleball Club at (509) 919-4344 for its free Pickleball 101 and for class and clinic scheduling, since specific clinic prices beyond the free intro are not posted. Book independent coaches through TeachMe.To, where each coach lists a per-lesson rate.

Before paying, ask how many players share the court, whether the session is drilling or supervised games, and whether paddles are provided. The HUB answers the last one already through its Selkirk demo paddles, and Power Pickleball Club includes equipment in the free intro class.
