Hi, I am Coach Zaida E. Rivera —Your Guide To Building The Right Pickleball Foundation

Coach Zaida E. Rivera

I specialize in teaching pickleball to players 50 and over who are just getting started. My goal is simple: help beginners feel comfortable, confident, and excited every time they step onto the court.

When you're new to pickleball, there's more to learn than just how to hit the ball…

You want to know where to stand, when to move, how to serve, what grip to use, and what you're actually supposed to do once the point starts.

You want to stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling like you belong out there.

 

My approach is simple: teach you how to actually play, not just how to hit a ball.

We'll make sense of the rules, get your serve and grip working, show you where to stand and when to move, and work on the things that will make you feel more confident every time you step onto the court.

But honestly, that's only the beginning.

Because pickleball can become so much more than a game.

It can be the reason you get out of the house on Saturday. The place where you meet new friends, laugh between points, find a regular group to play with, and suddenly have a whole new part of your social life.

Let's Fast Track Your Pickleball Journey!

You've played a little. You know the basics. But once the game starts, you're still not always sure where to stand, when to move, or what to do with the ball coming at you.

Why figure it all out the hard way when you can build the right foundation in just two focused hours?

We'll sharpen your serve, shots, positioning, movement, and decision-making… while you play and get coached in real time.

By the end, you'll stop wondering what you're supposed to do and start playing with confidence.

And that's when pickleball gets really fun: more games, new friends, better rallies, and a reason to look forward to getting back on the court.

It's a surprise

That's a SURPRISE! And a little hint: It's another perfect guide for 50 and above beginner players.

Everything you might be wondering

What skill level is this camp for?

This camp is designed specifically for beginner players at the 2.0-2.5 level. Every drill, every explanation, and every piece of coaching is calibrated for players who are new to the game or still building their core fundamentals.

Will I get one-on-one attention?

With a maximum of 8 players, you'll receive plenty of personalized feedback throughout the camp. I watch every player closely and make real-time corrections that create visible, immediate improvement within the session itself.

I'm coming on my own, and I don't know anybody. Will that feel awkward?

Most people come alone, and that is one of the best parts. Everyone walks in as a stranger and a beginner, which takes all the pressure out of the room. By the wrap-up, you'll be swapping numbers, and by the following week, a lot of my campers are playing together.

I don't have a DUPR rating. Would I be eligible?

You don't need a DUPR rating. The 2.0-2.5 range is simply to help you understand who this camp is designed for. If you're new to pickleball or still building your fundamentals, you're in exactly the right place.

When do I get the bonuses?

Immediately upon registration:
Perfect Guide eBook (instant download)
Community access (login credentials sent to your email)
You can start learning before you even arrive. The SURPRISE bonus will be sent to you after the camp.

I don't own a paddle. What do I do?

Just let us know when you register, and I'll have a loaner paddle waiting for you. Plenty of people take their first swing with a borrowed paddle, and by the end of the camp you'll know a lot more about what to buy for yourself.

I'm worried about keeping up physically. Will the pace be manageable?

Yes. I adapt every session to the pace and physical needs of the players in front of me. Safety comes first, always. You'll be challenged appropriately and never pushed beyond what's comfortable for your body.

What age range is this camp for?

This camp is designed specifically for players 50 and over. If you're 50+ and at the beginner level, you're exactly who I built this session for.

What should I bring?

Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.

Is this camp indoors?

Yes! This camp is held in a fully indoor facility.

I've tried pickleball before but felt lost. Why will this be different?

Because I break complex skills down into simple, repeatable actions — and I make it fun along the way. I prioritize confidence-building and a positive learning environment, so every player leaves energized and excited to keep playing. Every correction is clear and immediately actionable. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.
