LevelUp Pickleball Camps
Our camps are offered at three different levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. So, whether you're looking for a new activity to try or you want to become a pro, our camps can help. During our beginner pickleball instruction camp, you'll learn the game’s fundamentals. You'll also learn the mechanics necessary to excel at the game and become an intermediate. Once you've had some practice, you’re ready for the intermediate class, which covers your stroke techniques and advanced strategies. Finally, the advanced camp will take a deep dive into the game’s strategies, skills, and techniques to get you on your way to pro-level. All our camps incorporate drills to familiarize yourself with the game’s movements and footwork.

Gamma Pickleball Camps
For more information: https://gammapickleballcamps.com/find-a-camp/
The Foundations program is for players that have a 2.0 to 3.0 rating that are looking to improve their game.
*The Intermediate program is for players that have a 3.0 to 4.0 rating that are looking to improve their game. Players should be able to keep the ball in play during short rallies, use third shot drops during match play, and attempt to consistently dink cross court and down the line. The objective of Intermediate camps is to reinforce solid stroke technique, transitional play from the baseline to the non-volley zone, and also game-winning strategies so that participants can move to the next level of play.
*This program is not for someone who considers themselves a beginner.
Each day includes direct instruction of specific strokes and strategies, skill development, and game implementation. Each learning segment is concluded with a culminating game. All aspects of the game will be included: including injury prevention, mental toughness training, and competitive-edge practices.
