    Markus Vorwald

    Camp Director

    Markus was a competitive junior tennis player, born in Germany, who competed all over Europe. While dealing with personal injuries, he found a passion for teaching tennis to others. During this time, he learned about the mechanics of strokes, efficient body movement and how to prevent injuries. He taught in his hometown, Fulda, and then in Munich before he moved to the U.S. When he came to California in 2016 he immediately picked up on pickleball and got certified because of its social and competitive elements. He has been teaching pickleball and tennis at the La Quinta Resort since 2016 and he's known for developing strokes in a precise way that considers his clients personal skill level. You can expect to learn the latest techniques and strategies that will bring you to the next level and enjoy this wonderful game even more.

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)

  • Advanced: Players at this level are proficient in all aspects of the game and employ advanced strategies. They exhibit strong footwork and a deep understanding of gameplay dynamics. This level focuses on competitive play, advanced shot-making, and tactical decision-making. (DUPR rating 4.0+)

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE FEE?

  • Welcome Package: All campers receive a Nike Pickleball Camp t-shirt and prizes
  • Instruction: 11 hours of court time including instruction and match play
