Hi, I'm Coach Brett Noel — Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Professional, a 4.9 DUPR-rated competitive player, and an international pickleball instructor who has taught on courts around the world.

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping intermediate players make the small, precise adjustments that lead to the big breakthroughs, and build the tactical self-awareness that keeps them improving long after camp ends. Especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

What drew me to pickleball was the camaraderie and the joy of being on the court with people who love the game. It brings together people of all ages while challenging both the body and mind. That’s what made me obsessed, and it’s what I bring to every session.

What I bring to your game:

  • 4.9-rated DUPR competitor
  • Official DUPR Certification – Authorized to conduct official rating sessions
  • PPR Certified Pickleball Professional — Professional Pickleball Registry, official certification partner of USA Pickleball
  • 3-Time National Championship Gold Medalist
  • International instructor — has taught the modern game on courts around the world
  • Coach-of-coaches specialist — trains and mentors other pickleball instructors on how to teach effectively

My approach: Every intermediate player I coach gets the same starting point: an explanation of exactly why a shot works and when to use it, before we run a single rep.

I pair match-speed drilling with clear tactical frameworks, and I explain the “why” behind every single rep before we run it. That understanding is what allows players to coach themselves during live play, making adjustments mid-match without waiting for a coach to tell them what went wrong.

Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court…I’ll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.

Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.

They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power.

They understand the mental game.

They play multiple times a week with energy.

  They build lasting friendships while improving their game together.

Why We Are Obsessed With CHAMPIONSHIP-LEVEL DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.

I’m different.

Here’s my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation

You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting third shot drops repeatedly, after I’ve explained exactly why the shot works and when to use it, while a 3-Time National Championship Gold Medalist who coaches other coaches watches reps and delivers the correction that matters most right now.

And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with drilling:

Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?

That moment when you make a small adjustment and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it, every single time.

That rush when you stop reacting to your opponent and start controlling the point.

That feeling when your playing partners notice that something fundamental has changed about your game.

You don’t have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.

That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of my intermediate camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because watching a player suddenly “get it,” watching the spark of joy and confidence ignite, is the most fulfilling moment in coaching.

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 replay the match in your head…

…thinking about all the shots you should have made?

…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?

…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?

That feeling ends on August 29.

Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, August 31 (Two Days After Camp)

You walk onto your regular court for your weekly game.

As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.

“What happened to you?”

Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you’re controlling rallies with patience and precision they’ve never seen from you before.

By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.

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 Learn to Coach Yourself Mid-Match

This is the outcome that separates my instruction from every other camp you’ve attended. I explain the “why” behind every shot and every positioning decision before we run it, so you understand your game at a deeper level and can make real-time adjustments during live play without waiting for someone to tell you what went wrong.

You'll Meet Your New Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

We’ll connect you with other passionate 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 Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation

I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.

You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back

I’ll help you identify the technical flaws that are quietly limiting your game. Once I show you exactly how to fix them, the shots that used to frustrate you become reliable strengths.

Most players spend years battling the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.

That forehand that used to sail long? Now landing deep with topspin.

The backhand you avoided? Now a dependable go-to shot.

The serve that made you nervous? Now setting up points in your favor.

You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game

Pickleball is community, joy, and intensity all at once. That combination is what made it special when you first found it. 

On August 29, I’m bringing all of that energy to your game, and I’m going to make sure you walk off that court feeling everything pickleball promised you.

Because I explain the “why” before every rep, and that’s what makes the improvement permanent. I teach the modern game: faster, more purposeful, more tactically precise than typical clinic instruction. Every player leaves not just with better mechanics, but with the tactical self-awareness to keep improving on their own. Every drill has a clear purpose. Every correction is grounded in how the game is actually played at the highest level. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.

We understand that life happens, and we always aim to be as fair and flexible as possible.
