The state-of-the-art pickleball video and coaching platform was created to be the most extensive online resource for America's fastest-growing sport.

ENCINITAS, Calif., February 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Total Sports, LLC, recently announced the launch of The Art of Pickleball (AOP), designed to be the most expansive resource for pickleball players and instructors in the world. 

Created in partnership with top professional players and coaches, The Art of Pickleball provides comprehensive online instruction and virtual coaching for every aspect of the game.

Subscribers can access instructional videos for all levels of play to work on specific shots and skills, learn in-game strategies, develop tactics and view drills from top pros. The platform features extensive information on injury prevention, dynamic warmups and strength and conditioning - all specific to pickleball. 

AOP also offers a complete library of practice plans and match analysis as well as a roster of coaches available for remote, virtual training that can be purchased in one-hour sessions.

The site features both free content and monthly or annual "Pro" memberships that provide access to all resources on the platform. Pro memberships are available for $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually for a limited time.   

Total Sports partnered with top-ranked pros Steve, Jennifer and Callan Dawson to build The Art of Pickleball. The site features experienced pros and coaches from around the country who have won more than 80 Open, National and International championships, multiple Triple Crown Titles and over 10 Tournament of Champions trophies. The coaching team features multiple PPA and APP Tour players who are also IPTPA, PPR and IFP-certified instructors.

AOP's vast roster of coaches allows for instruction from a wide variety of teaching viewpoints and playing philosophies.

"Pickleball is such a diverse sport in terms of age, skill level and style," says renowned coach Steve Dawson. "We set out to create something that wasn't previously available: a resource where people can learn from all types of instructors and experienced professionals. There isn't just one way to learn how to play or teach pickleball."

Mark Tilson, President of Total Sports, says The Art of Pickleball will continue to expand. "We are already working with more coaches around the country that will soon be featured on the site," he says. "New content and resources will continuously be added, and we'll always be looking for innovative ways to connect our audience with the top names in the game."

The Everglades Foundation and the Urban League of Greater Miami hosted the launch of the "Power of Water" educational initiative on Oct. 19 at the Samuel K.

"It's so important to educate our youth about the critical role that water plays in their lives, and we are proud to partner with the Urban League of Greater Miami to launch this educational outreach," said Eric Eikenberg, chief executive officer of The Everglades Foundation. "Everyone in Miami-Dade County should understand that their freshwater comes from the Everglades, and it's a precious natural resource that needs to be protected."

The event featured an interactive educational activity about the Everglades ecosystem taught to a group of K-5 students from the Liberty City Optimist Club by The Everglades Foundation's education team. 

"Kids need to understand that it's important to stay healthy and hydrated with water," said T. Willard Fair, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Miami. "We are thrilled to partner with The Everglades Foundation to help us engage with our community inside and outside our schools." 

The "Power of Water" campaign can be seen around Liberty City on bus wraps, bus benches, and at convenience stores.
