WHY I'M OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)
Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much information.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence
You don’t learn pickleball by watching demonstrations. You learn by actually doing it, over and over and over, with a patient coach guiding you every step of the way.
And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with beginner-friendly drilling:
Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when we try something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?
That moment when your dink lands exactly where you aimed it.
That rush when your serve goes in consistently.
That feeling when you rally back and forth without missing.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see progress. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of my advanced beginner camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch yourself go from “I keep making that mistake” to “I just fixed it!” in a single afternoon.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED OFF THE COURT FRUSTRATED?
You know that moment when you see people playing pickleball and think…
…”I can’t reach that level“?
…”I’m not athletic enough“?
…”Everyone else can rally better than me“?
That feeling ends on August 15th.
Because by the time you walk off the court, you’ll be playing pickleball at a higher level. You’ll understand the rules better. You’ll know how to position yourself. And you’ll have a clear path to becoming the player you’ve been watching from the sidelines.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, August 17th (Two Days After Camp)
You’re at your local court and you see a group playing pickleball.
But this time, instead of watching from the sidelines, you walk up confidently.
“Mind if I join?”
They welcome you in. You step onto the court. You call out the score correctly. Your serves go in consistently. Your positioning is already better. You dink the ball back and forth. You’re playing pickleball better than you thought you would, and holding your own.
By the end of the games, they’re asking if you want to join their regular group. They’re exchanging phone numbers. You’re already part of the community.
That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.
And it all starts the moment you register, because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WALK AWAY WITH (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Actually Immerse Yourself in Pickleball
I’ll teach you every fundamental skill you need to step onto any court and play better. By the end of camp, you’ll be able to serve, return, dink, volley, keep score, and rally with confidence. You’ll understand the rules. You’ll know the etiquette. You’ll be a real pickleball player.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
I’ll connect you with other advanced beginner players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.
You'll Have Confidence to Play Anywhere
I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been keeping you on the sidelines. Not sure about the rules? You’ll know them. Worried about looking foolish? You’ll have practiced hundreds of shots. Intimidated by the scoring? You’ll be calling it out confidently.
You'll Understand Your Path to 3.0 and Beyond
I’ll show you exactly what to practice and how to improve. You won’t be wandering aimlessly – you’ll have a clear roadmap from advanced beginner to intermediate and beyond. Most advanced beginners spend months developing bad habits. You’ll learn the right way from day one, setting yourself up for rapid improvement.
You'll Fall in Love with This Amazing Sport
I’ll show you why millions of people are obsessed with pickleball. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember feeling curious about pickleball but unsure if it was really for you?
On August 15th, that question gets answered.
Because when you experience what it feels like to actually maintain a rally, when you’re laughing, competing, and connecting with new friends, that’s when you catch the pickleball bug.
