Meet Your Coach

I'm Coach Melinda Murray - Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Professional who has dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping women like you who are intermediate players unlock their true potential, break through their plateau, and fall in love with this game all over again, especially women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. 

When I discovered pickleball, I immediately entered at the 4.5 level. Within three years, I was competing at the national level. 

Right now, as I coach you, I’m actively training and competing at the highest levels, with my sights locked on National Gold in 2026. That means when I teach you, I’m not coaching from memory. I’m coaching you on the spot to become a better player.

My Approach

I thrive on helping students improve while genuinely enjoying the process. My sessions are engaging, energetic, and fun, creating an environment where players elevate their game and become part of a growing pickleball community.

If you’re a 3.0–3.5 woman in her 50s, 60s, or 70s who’s plateaued at the same level for a while, you’re exactly who this camp was built for.

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.

My Philosophy

Why I'm Obsessed
With Drilling

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 while a 5.0 DUPR National Medalist watches and corrects your reps.

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 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 my intermediate women’s camps. Not because I 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 August 16.

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 Tuesday, August 18 (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 Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself

I’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. This is especially meaningful for women 50 and over: you’ll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can play multiple times a week without wearing yourself out or risking injury.

01

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

I’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

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.

03

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

I coach from current 5.0 national competitive experience, not from memory. Every correction I make is grounded in what I’m actively doing on court right now. I’ll identify the technical flaws currently limiting your game and fix them that afternoon.

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.

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 August 16, 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.
