Montgomery Village, MD · Ages 8–16
Youth pickleball in Montgomery Village.
Next Gen is running youth classes in Montgomery Village this fall — an intro class in August, then two six-week Thursday sessions for kids and teens ages 8–16. Every level is welcome: each session runs a Red/Orange class and a Green/Yellow class back to back, so your child gets real reps with like-skilled players.
Registration is open now through MVF
In partnership with the Montgomery Village Foundation.
Fall 2026 Programs
One intro class. Two six-week sessions.
Start with the one-evening intro class, roll into the fall sessions, or do both. Each session runs a Red/Orange class and a Green/Yellow class, registered separately — pick the one that fits your child, or ask us and we’ll place them.
How registration works: Registration is open now and runs through the Montgomery Village Foundation — you register and pay on MVF's site, not ours. Each class below is its own MVF activity, so register for the bracket and session you want. Heads up: MVF raises registration fees by 10% starting three days before each session's first class, so registering early saves a little too.

Skill Brackets
Not sure which class to pick?
We coach the same Red → Orange → Green → Yellow pathway we use across the academy. Red and Orange players are still learning to rally and get into games; Green and Yellow players play games and focus on strategy. If you’re between the two, start at the intro class — we assess every kid there and tell you which fall class to register for. No tryout, no pressure, just placement. See the full pathway, or book a free evaluation and we’ll place your child before day one.
