About Your Global Pickleball Training Camp
Beginner Camps
At our beginner camps, we create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere tailored to new players with skill levels between 2.0 and 3.0. Our highly experienced instructors are dedicated to helping participants build a strong foundation in the game. You’ll receive hands-on guidance through the essential rules and core fundamentals of pickleball, ensuring you feel confident as you progress.
We focus on mastering keystrokes like the serve, return, third shots, volleys, dinks, and overheads. For each stroke, we explain both the technique and the strategic purpose behind it. To reinforce these skills, we follow up with focused drills and fun games that allow you to practice the stroke in real-game scenarios, boosting your confidence and ability on the court.
This camp is perfect for players with a basic understanding of pickleball who are eager to elevate their game.
If you’ve already grasped the fundamental concepts and are ready to sharpen your skills, this camp will help you take the next step. Our program is designed to build your confidence on the court, giving you the tools and techniques to apply what you know in real-game situations with greater precision and success.
Our program brings together the top instructors and touring professionals in pickleball to provide an exceptional learning experience. Highlights include:
6 hours of high-quality, hands-on instruction
Low 8:1 student-to-pro ratio for personalized attention
Complimentary gift for every participant
One-year digital subscription to Pickleball Newsletter
Our Comprehensive 2-Day Beginner Program (12 Hours) Covers:
Rules: Scoring and all essential game rules
Serving & Returning: Mastering grip, positioning, placement, technique, and strategy
Dinking: Purpose, techniques, strategy, shifting, and communication
Transitioning: Moving from the baseline to the non-volley zone with 3rd shot drops and drives
Punch Volleys: Effective tactics to beat aggressive players ("bangers")
Offensive Shots: Drives, lobs, and overheads to keep opponents on their toes
Beginner Drills & Games: Engaging activities focused on practicing each shot
Our Camp Structure:
The Core Pickleball Program is built around a four-step process:
Discussion: Our pros will explain the technique or strategy for a comprehensive understanding.
Demonstration: Pros will demonstrate to you the technique or strategy for visual awareness. Watch the pros execute the technique they are teaching for better understanding.
Implementation: Campers will implement the new learned skill in drills and game play, while being observed by the pros where needed adjustments will be made immediately on the court.
Rotation: Campers will rotate often with other players to challenge themselves against different opponents.
In this program, you’ll not only learn what to do and how to do it, but also when to apply each technique and, most importantly, the "why" behind every strategy and skill set.
This deeper understanding will empower you to coach yourself long after the camp ends, giving you the ability to self-correct and make real-time adjustments during play.
With this knowledge, you'll have the tools to continuously improve and elevate your pickleball game.
