Nike Adult Pickleball Camp at The Picklr, Mount Prospect

2025 CAMP DATES (New Dates Coming Soon!)

CAMP PROGRAM INFORMATION

The PICKLR Power of 4/P4 is an innovative, leading system designed to simplify and streamline the pickleball learning process by breaking down all aspects of the game through the Power of 4. Created and honed from feedback and results seen after spending thousands of hours on the court, P4 creates multiple "lightbulb" moments which helps students understand the why's, how's and where's of pickleball. Upon completion of P4 Clinics and Trainings, students will have a much higher pickleball IQ and will see immediate results in player smarter, more efficient pickleball.

• Camp Type(s) Offered: 3 Day Camp (Friday 5:00pm-7:00pm, Saturday & Sunday 1:00pm-4:00pm)
• Gender: Coed

SKILL LEVELS & GROUP PLACEMENT

Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Participants are then sorted by ability first, then age per the Camp Director's discretion - adjustments are made as needed during camp.

While there are many ways to define skill levels, the following descriptions are what the Camp Directors at Nike Pickleball Camps will use to organize and group camp participants. At the time of registration, please choose the level that best represents your experience:

• Beginner: Players at this level are new to pickleball and have little to no experience. They can hit basic shots and possess a fundamental understanding of the rules, scoring, and court positioning. Focus is on building confidence and familiarity with the game. (No rating or DUPR rating 1.0 - 2.5)

• Intermediate: Players at this level understand the rules and strategy of pickleball and can sustain rallies using a mix of shots. They can hit with some spin and accuracy, resulting in fewer unforced errors. Focus is on refining technique, improving court awareness, and developing strategic play. (DUPR rating 3.0-3.5)
