Meet Your Coach

Hi, I'm Coach Sylvia Whitehouse - Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m an IPTPA Certified Instructor with 10 years of coaching experience, which means when you step onto the court with me, you’re working with someone who has competed at the highest levels of this sport and spent a decade figuring out exactly how to take what I know and put it directly into your game.

I know what separates a player who struggles from a player who competes, at every level, in every age bracket. I’ve seen it from both sides of the court, as a competitor and as a coach.

And after teaching women like you in their 50s, 60s, and 70s since 2016, I know the exact fundamentals that unlock improvement the fastest and the corrections that make the biggest difference the soonest.

My Credentials:

2024 US Open Gold Medal

Women's Doubles 5.0, 60-64 division

2023 USA Pickleball National Championships Gold Medal

Women's Doubles 5.0, 60-64

9-time US Open medalist

One of the most consistent performers in the tournament's history

3-time Huntsman World Senior Games medalist

10 years of coaching experience

Teaching players at every stage since 2016

My Approach

I believe that without a strong foundation, a player cannot continue to build and improve. I focus on the fundamentals that everything else is built on: solid serves, clean forehand contact, court positioning, and how to keep the ball unattackable.

I particularly stress court positioning and movement as a team: making sure the middle is always covered, that every player on the court knows who is responsible for which balls, and that positioning decisions are made before the ball arrives, not after.

You won’t leave this camp with a list of things to work on someday. You’ll leave with a foundation you can feel the next time you step on the court.

If you’re a 2.5–3.0 player who’s plateaued at the same level for a while, you’re exactly who this camp was built for.

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.

My Philosophy

Why I'm Obsessed
With Drilling

Most beginner camps spend too much time explaining and not enough time doing.

Mine are different.

Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence

You don’t build confidence by listening to descriptions of good shots. You build it by hitting the same shot repeatedly, with proper mechanics, until your body knows exactly what to do before your brain catches up.

And here’s the truth about why repetition is everything at this stage:

Because we all love that moment when something finally clicks, don’t we?

That moment when your serve lands deep for the fifth time in a row, and you realize you can do that on purpose now.

That feeling when a fast ball comes at you and your paddle is already in the right place, because your body learned it through reps, not lectures.

That confidence when you walk onto the court and you actually know where to stand, and why.

You don’t have to wait weeks to feel it. You feel it the same afternoon.

That’s why repetition is the heartbeat of this camp. Not because it sounds good, but because it’s deeply satisfying to watch yourself go from “I’m not sure I can do this” to “I just did that” in a single session.

Your Breakthrough Awaits

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 equal in level to you play with a confidence you haven’t found yet?

…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you’re capable of being?

That feeling ends on July 18th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, the players you play with will immediately notice something has shifted.

Picture This — Two Days After Camp

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, July 20th (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 moving to the right spot on the court. At the kitchen line, you’re patient, controlled, and keeping the ball low in a way that wasn’t there 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.

Your Breakthrough Awaits

What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real Outcomes)

You'll Control Rallies Without Wearing Yourself Out

I’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power.

This is especially important for us 50+ players: You’ll learn to play smarter, not harder.

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

I’ll connect you with other women at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.

02 You'll Finally Know Where To Stand - And Why

I’ll eliminate the uncertainty that’s been costing you points. Who covers the middle? When do you move to the kitchen? What’s your job from each position on the court? After this camp, your body knows before you have to think about it.

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

I’ll help you identify the technical habits that are quietly limiting your game right now. Once I show you how to correct them, with the precision of a US Open medalist who has coached players from recreational to competitive tournament level for a decade, the shots that used to frustrate you become reliable.

Most women spend years battling the same fundamentals. You’ll fix yours in a single afternoon.

That serve that used to feel shaky? Now landing deep and consistent.

The forehand that kept popping up? Now staying low.

The positioning uncertainty? Now automatic – before the ball even arrives.

04 You'll Fall in Love with This Game All Over Again

I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, confident, and already looking forward to your next time on the court.

Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? How it made you feel? If that feeling has been fading lately, you deserve to have it back.

On July 18th, you will.

Because when your fundamentals are right and your confidence is real, that’s when pickleball becomes everything it promised to be.

This camp is designed specifically for advanced beginner women at the 2.5-3.0 level. The instruction, drills, and coaching are all calibrated for women who have a feel for the game and are ready to build the solid foundation that takes them to consistent 3.0 play.

I don't have a DUPR rating. Would I be eligible?

Absolutely. You don’t need a DUPR rating. The 2.5-3.0 range is simply to help you understand who this camp is designed for. If you consider yourself an advanced beginner who’s getting comfortable on the court and ready to build real fundamentals, you’re in the right place.

I'm right at 2.5. Will I be able to keep up?

Yes. I’ve been teaching players at every level since 2016 and know exactly how to calibrate instructions so every woman is challenged appropriately and never overwhelmed. My foundation-first approach means every correction builds something that holds up for years.

What should I bring?

Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, water, some snacks, and a towel.

Will I get one-on-one attention?

Definitely. With a maximum of 8 women, you’ll receive plenty of personalized feedback throughout the camp. I bring 10 years of teaching experience and a 5.0+ DUPR to every correction.

I've done camps before and didn't improve much. Why will this be different?

Because I don’t teach shortcuts… I help you build a foundation. I coach the fundamentals that everything else is built on: where to stand, how to keep the ball unattackable, how to move as a team, and how to make positioning decisions before the ball arrives. Every hour has a specific objective. Every correction shows up in your game the same day. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.
