Meet Coach Bradley C. Carson - Your Guide To Building The Right Pickleball Foundation

I’m a PPR Certified Coach and Michigan Senior Olympics Gold Medalist with 135+ lessons under my belt, teaching students of all ages, especially 50+ players.

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping players understand the “game within the game” and break through to the next competitive level, especially players like you in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

My story starts with good friends, who invited my wife and me to play, and I was quickly lost in the game. Athletic, movement-based, built around community? Pickleball delivered on every count.

My Credentials:

RPPk/DUPR Certified Coach — performance-based training methodology

Gold Medal — 2026 Michigan Senior Olympics, 3.5-4.0

135+ lessons completed — working with 50+ players, and advanced beginner players

4.9/5-star rating across multiple coaching platforms

Known for teaching the "game within the game" — court positioning, point construction, and strategic awareness

3+ years of competitive play and professional instruction

My approach: Most players already have basic strokes; what they’re missing is court positioning, point construction, reading your opponent, and executing under pressure. I specialize in making that layer visible and trainable. My coaching philosophy combines movement, stroke variety, and footwork that separates 2.5 players from 3.0 competitors.

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 WE'RE OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much too fast.

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, with a coach watching every rep, and building the kind of muscle memory that holds up in real games.

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 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 18th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, 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, July 20th (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 Actually Know How to Play Pickleball

I’ll teach you every fundamental skill you need to step onto any court and play. You won’t just understand the theory, you’ll have actually done it, repeatedly, with patient coaching from a certified pickleball instructor.

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 aimlessly, 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 18th, 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.
