  • Gender: Coed
  • Age Range: 8-14
  • Skill Level: Beginner & Intermediate

Campers will rotate between tennis and pickleball sessions throughout the week to ensure balanced development in both sports. Each session is structured to build skills, improve movement and coordination, and help players feel comfortable competing in game situations.

Training focuses on stroke development, footwork, positioning, and strategy. Players will participate in drills, coach led instruction, and supervised play designed specifically for beginner and intermediate skill levels.

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)
