From Couch to Court is a 9-week program created by BYC Pickleball & More in collaboration with Standout Pickleball Thailand. It’s designed for anyone who wants to discover pickleball in a simple, structured, and welcoming way. Step by step, you’ll go from complete beginner to confidently playing games on court.

Each week introduces new skills, rules, and confidence-building activities. Just like fitness challenges, the sessions are progressive—starting light and getting you more active as you go. By the end of the 9 weeks, you’ll be playing real games with others and enjoying the sport.

Anyone! Pickleball is for all ages and fitness levels. You don’t need prior experience or athletic background. Whether you want gentle movement, social connection, or a new hobby, this program is built to help you get started with no pressure.

• Easy to learn and fun from day one

• Low impact and easier on the body than many sports

• Builds fitness, coordination, and energy

• A welcoming community where you’ll meet new friends

• A healthy way to spend time outdoors and destress

The pilot program will launch first in Chiang Mai, where it’s being incubated with the BYC Pickleball & More community. This is where participants will get the very first chance to try the 9-week From Couch to Court journey.

As the program grows in popularity, it will be introduced to other cities across Thailand—including Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Phuket, and more— making it easier for more people to discover pickleball step by step.

All you need to join is comfortable clothing and a willingness to try. We’ll initially loan you the paddles, balls, and guidance—you bring yourself.

Our structured plan takes you step by step from absolute beginner to confident player. Each week builds on the last, focusing on skills, fun drills, and guided play. Download Outline Here
