Featured Testimonials

I wanted to tell you what I've done this last month. I started a journal of tracking my unforced errors. It really helped from 10 plus a game to under five. Once I got to this level consistently, I started counting my 3rd shot drops per game. My goal was to have 10 plus a game. I am now able to do this. The muscle memory for this shot has kicked in. I can't believe this has worked so well for me. You changed my game for the better.

There are so many other tips that you taught us that is now part of my game. My goal is to be a solid 4.0 for my age group. My advantage is that at 73, I think I can achieve this goal.

The instruction was individualized and specific, and in conjunction with the videotaping and critique really helped me focus on the areas of my game I need to work on. I received instruction on technique that I had not been given before by anyone else. The drills were very helpful, and I have brought them home with me to share.

The destination camp is an extensive 2-day pickleball camp. After the 2 days (typically 10 hours on-court), you will go home more confident in your pickleball game and with a collection of skills which will allow you to play better pickleball and most importantly, have more fun.

The Destination Camp is designed for a 3.0 – 4.0 player. Topics covered will include dinks, volleys, 3rd Shots, court positioning, court awareness, and more. Each camp also comes with individual video recording which is reviewed together with the student at the end of the first day.

Camp times vary by location, but typically start from 8-10AM and finish each day at 2-4PM. A basic lunch is typically provided if there is a 1 hour lunch break.

Following camp the first day, all campers are invited to join the pro(s) for a dinner during which the individual videos will be reviewed. (dinner cost separate)

Camps maintain a low 1:8 teacher to student ratio and are capped at 16 participants, providing a great environment for campers to interact with each of the pros.

Teaching philosophy

It is our goal to provide a safe and fun experience during which the campers can learn best practices to improve their consistency. In other words, our goal is for our campers to enjoy pickleball more through longer point rallies. With that in mind, we really focus on high-percentage play, maximizing strengths while minimizing weaknesses, minimizing unforced errors, effective court movement/positioning, and proper partner communication. Also, fun is a big focus!
