Our Approach
We believe the smartest player wins, not the strongest.
Together we give every woman in this camp the tactical intelligence, mechanical precision, and competitive confidence to stop reacting and start dictating. Two coaches mean every player gets more personalized attention, more real-time feedback, and more of the specific corrections that create real breakthroughs.
Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court… we’ll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.
Women who train with us 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.

Our Philosophy
Why We Are
Obsessed
With Drilling
Most intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
We’re different.
Here’s our 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 while a national championship medalist and a reigning Southern Region Singles Champion, both on the court at the same time, watch and guides your reps.
And here’s the truth about why we’re 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 adjust your paddle angle, and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you, and you put it away cleanly.
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 our intermediate women’s camps. Not because we think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch a woman 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 replay the match in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching women 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 September 26.
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, September 28 (Two Days After Camp)
You’re at your local pickleball court, and you see a group of women playing.
But this time, instead of watching from the sidelines, you walk up confidently.
“Mind if I join?”
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 Control Rallies Without Wearing Yourself Out
We’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy, and that matters especially for us 50+ players. You’ll learn to play smarter, not harder.
01
You'll Meet Your New Women's Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
We’ll connect you with other passionate women at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with every woman you meet.
02
You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation
We’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.
03
You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back
We’ll help you identify the technical and strategic habits that are quietly limiting your game. With Lisa’s strategic precision and Caitlin’s kinesiology background, both on the court at the same time, the corrections you receive go deeper than anything a single coach can deliver.
Most women spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.
04
You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game
We’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…
On September 26, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau, that’s when the obsession returns.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this camp for?
This camp is designed specifically for intermediate women at the 3.0-3.5 level. Every drill, every explanation, and every piece of coaching is calibrated for women who understand the basics and are ready to break through to the next level.
What age range is this camp for?
This camp is designed specifically for women 50 and over. If you’re 50+ and playing at the 3.0-3.5 intermediate level, you’re exactly who we built this session for.
Is this camp only for women?
Yes. This is a women’s-only camp by design. Every drill partner, every conversation, and every connection you make here will be with women who are on the same journey. That environment matters, and it makes the day better.
I don't have a DUPR rating, but I play at the intermediate level. Would I be eligible?
You don’t need a DUPR rating. The 3.0-3.5 range is simply to help you understand who this camp is designed for. If you consider yourself an intermediate player who’s comfortable with basic strokes and ready to take your game to the next level, you’re in the right place.
I'm right at 3.0. Will I be able to keep up?
Yes. We build every session around meeting each woman where she is. You’ll be challenged appropriately throughout and always moving forward.
Why are there two coaches?
Because more coaches means more attention for you. With Lisa and Caitlin both on the court all afternoon, 16 players still get the kind of focused, personalized feedback that most camps can’t deliver. You get twice the eyes on your game and twice the real-time corrections in a single session.
What should I bring?
Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.
Will I get one-on-one attention?
With two coaches and a maximum of 16 players, you’ll receive more personalized attention than in a standard single-coach camp. Both Lisa and Caitlin watch every player closely and make real-time corrections throughout the session.
Is this camp indoors or outdoors?
This camp is held in a fully indoor facility.
When do I get the gifts?
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 gift will be sent to you after the camp.
I've done camps before and didn't improve much. Why will this be different?
You get two certified coaches at once: one with a strategic coaching philosophy built on outsmarting the game, and one with a kinesiology background and national championship experience. Together, every correction is immediate, purposeful, and built to last. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.
What if I can't make it and need to cancel?
We understand that life happens, and we always aim to be as fair and flexible as possible.
