Begin your experience with a convenient pickup from your hotel in the Old Quarter (Hoan Kiem area) and head to the pickleball court. If you're an experienced player, enjoy playing matches with the locals. If you're a beginner, join a 1.5-hour session led by a friendly local coach.

Whether you're completely new to pickleball or already have experience on the court, this session is tailored to your level.

For Beginners:
You'll receive hands-on instruction from a licensed professional pickleball coach who will guide you through the fundamentals of the game. You'll learn the rules, scoring system, proper paddle grip, court positioning, serving, forehand and backhand techniques, movement, dinks, volleys, and basic game strategies. The coach will provide personalized feedback throughout the session, helping you build confidence and quickly progress from your first shots to real gameplay.

For Experienced Players:
Skip the beginner instruction and jump straight into friendly matches with local Vietnamese players. This is a great opportunity to enjoy competitive games, experience the local pickleball community, and challenge yourself against players of different skill levels. The coach and local players will be happy to share tips, strategies, and insights into the rapidly growing pickleball scene in Vietnam.

By the end of the session, you'll have enjoyed an authentic local sporting experience while making new connections both on and off the court.

After your pickleball session, have a quick shower at the massage place or at your hotel in Hoan Kiem. Then, enjoy a traditional Vietnamese massage. Using 100% natural oil, this essential oil treatment will help the muscles relax, prevent and treat symptoms related to blood vessel blockage, and help detoxify your body.

Finally, try Bún chả — grilled pork served with rice noodles, fresh herbs, and dipping sauce. It’s simple, authentic, and a great introduction to Hanoi’s food culture.
