Stop guessing your way
through every point.
Open play teaches you to survive a game, not win one. For one Saturday, you get a coach whose entire job is watching what your hands and feet do wrong — and fixing it before lunch. Eight players. Four hours. One written plan to take home so the fix actually sticks.
Pick a date.
Every camp caps at eight. Once a date fills, it's closed — no exceptions, no squeezing in a ninth chair.
One coach. Eight players. Nowhere for a bad habit to hide.
Every camp runs the same proven format we call the 3-Fix Session: your coach spends the first twenty minutes finding the three things actually costing you points — your grip, your footwork, the shot you flinch away from — before anyone's even broken a sweat. Not warm-up small talk. A diagnosis.
From there it's reps, not lecture: dinks, resets, third-shot drops, volleys, serve and return, live points at the end. You get named, individual corrections — not a group speech aimed at nobody in particular. Most people show up expecting to learn the rules. They leave knowing the two or three specific fixes that will actually move their game.
Within a week, your coach emails a short breakdown built just for you — what they saw, what to work on first, and a drill for each one. Not a generic PDF. Notes on your game, specifically.
- Eight players max — we turn people away before we go to nine.
- One certified coach, on court with you the entire time.
- Named corrections on your reps, not a speech to the group.
- Live points at the end, coach calling reads in real time.
- A written breakdown after, built around your game only.
- You're added to the players community as soon as you register.

Full refund if you change your mind before camp day.
And if it doesn't land, your next camp is free.
Make-good seat is one per person, at any camp with open space. Terms apply.Two tracks, so nobody's carrying the group.
We sort by skill window on purpose. Mismatched pairs are how beginners get discouraged and intermediates get bored — so we don't mix them.
Just starting out
Grip, footwork, the kitchen rule, and the dinking rhythm that makes the whole game click. Built for the exact moment when you've played enough to love it, but real points still feel like chaos.
Roughly DUPR 2.5 and under. Never heard that term before? You're almost certainly in the right place.
Ready to climb past the basics
For players whose fundamentals are solid and want someone to isolate the one or two patterns quietly capping their level. We're building this track now — get on the list to hear first.
Roughly DUPR 3.0–3.5.
Camps we've actually run.
We don't change the formula city to city. Here's the proof it works — actual dates, actual coaches, actual seats filled.
What people ask before they book.
Who is this actually built for?
Adults who've picked up a paddle in the last year or two, or who've played on and off for a while but still feel like they're guessing mid-point. Every camp groups players within the same rough skill band, so you're not the one holding up the group and you're not the one waiting around bored.
I've never even heard of DUPR. Is that a problem?
Not even a little. DUPR is just pickleball's rating system — think of it like a golf handicap. You don't need one to register. We ask two short questions when you sign up and place you accordingly. Honestly, not knowing what DUPR is usually means you're exactly who this camp is for.
Why only eight players?
Because that's the most a single coach can genuinely watch. Every swing gets seen. Every mistake gets named on the spot instead of buried in a group lecture. We could fit more people in and make more money per camp — we don't, on purpose.
What do I actually walk away with?
The written half of the 3-Fix Session — a short breakdown from your coach, sent the week after camp, naming the two or three things costing you the most points and a drill for each. Most people keep it pinned in their phone and pull it up before they play.
I'm past 60. Will I be out of place?
You'll likely be in the majority, not the minority — most of the people who show up are 50 and older. Camps are built around steady blocks with real breaks in between, not a boot-camp pace, and we adjust for anything you flag when you register.
What happens if something comes up and I can't make it?
You get a full refund any time before camp day — send one email, no interrogation. If we're the ones who have to cancel a date, you pick between getting your money back or credit toward a future camp.
Hear about new dates before we post them.
Seats cap at eight and new cities fill from this list first. Leave your email and you'll know before the general public does.
Camp dates only. No spam, and one click to leave.
The 3-Fix Session: eight beginners, one coach, four hours, and a written plan for exactly what to fix next.
