About Your LevelUp Camp:

In our beginner camps, we provide a supportive environment for new players whose level is 2.0 to 2.9. Our experienced instructors guide campers through the rules and fundamentals of the game to help develop a solid foundation. From there, we work one by one on the most relevant strokes (Serve, Return, Third Shots, Volleys, Dinks, and Overheads). As each stroke is introduced, we explain the purpose and technique of the shot. Then we incorporate a drill and a game emphasizing the use of that shot.

This camp is designed for individuals who may have some basic pickleball knowledge but want to further enhance their skills. This camp is great for people who have grasped the basic concepts and now want to apply them confidently on the court.

The program features the best instructors and touring professionals in the sport and offers:

• 12-hours of High-Quality Instruction

• Low 8 Students to 1 Pro Ratio

• Individual Pre/Post camp Video Review

• Free Gift

• One-year digital subscription to Pickleball Magazine

Our Camp Structure:

The LevelUp Program is built around a 4-section system:

1) Pro Demonstration of New Skills

2) Pros Analyze the Campers Through Drills

3) Campers Play Semi-Competitive Games Reinforcing the New Skill

4) Rotations Allow Campers to Play Different People

Demo Equipment:

Having the right paddle makes a difference, so LevelUp partnered with Trnity Pickleball. At our camps your head pro will bring Trnity demos for your testing.
