Hi, I am Coach Brett Noel — Your Guide To Building The Right Pickleball Foundation
I’m a 3-Time National Championship Gold Medalist, and an international pickleball instructor who has taught the game on courts across the world.
What drew me to coaching wasn’t the competition. It was the moment I realised I could help someone understand the game so clearly that they could start coaching themselves on the court.
And I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping players make the small adjustments that lead to big breakthroughs, and watching their confidence in this sport come roaring back. Especially players like you in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
My Credentials:
PPR Certified Pickleball Professional
4.9 DUPR-rated competitive player
Specialist in training and mentoring other pickleball instructors — mastery of how the game is taught, not just how it's played
Expert in shot mechanics, court positioning, and tactical decision-making
Known for teaching the "why" behind every shot — players leave knowing how to coach themselves during matches
High-energy, detail-oriented coaching style built around match-speed drilling paired with clear tactical frameworks
My approach: I coach the modern game: faster, more purposeful, more tactically precise than most beginner-level instruction ever reaches.
But I don’t just put players through drills. I build understanding. Every rep has a reason behind it, and I explain that reason before we run it.
Players leave knowing not just how to hit a shot, but when to use it and what they were doing wrong before. That’s what creates improvement that holds up in real matches, not just in camp.
So, 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 leveling up their game.

WHY I'M OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)
Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much too fast, or spend so much time explaining that you barely get any reps in.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence
You don’t learn pickleball by watching demonstrations. You learn by actually doing it, repeatedly, with correct form and building the kind of muscle memory that holds up in real games.
And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with breakthrough-focused 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 softly in the kitchen, every time.
That rush when your serve goes in deep and consistently.
That feeling when you rally back and forth with real control.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see progress. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That’s why purposeful 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 someone go from “I can’t do this” to “I just did that!” 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 July 19th.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 6:00 PM, you’ll know exactly what you need to do to get to the next level. You’ll have drilled the right fundamentals the right way. And you’ll have a coach, a community, and a clear roadmap to get there.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Tuesday, July 21st (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your local pickleball court for a game.
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 a 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 Have the Fundamentals That Take You to 3.0
I’ll teach you the specific skills, serving, returning, dinking, volleying, and positioning that define the 3.0 player. Not just the theory. The actual reps, the correct form, the muscle memory that holds up in real games.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
I’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 Have Confidence to Play Anywhere
I’ll eliminate the fear 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 after camp. You won’t be wandering; you’ll have a clear roadmap from beginner to intermediate and beyond.
Most beginners spend months or years 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 unsure if you’d be able to play pickleball with the confidence others play it with?
On July 19th, it comes roaring back.
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.
