This is one of the most important questions to ask! Having 2 coaches allow us to solve that problem with groupings of 4 based on ability and experience. With camps maxed out at 16 players, we can have 4 players per court, based on how they are playing and learning!

For beginners, we will provide paddles and balls. All that is required are good athletic shoes, preferably proper tennis shoes, large water bottle, a friendly attitude, and a willingness to learn and be active.

We design instruction based on age group and ability. Grades 3-5 will have shorter sessions that move quickly to retain attention and interest. EX) We may do several types of games catered to their development and learning styles. The week long camps are 3 hours. Advanced camps are 6 hours.

Kadin Pilz currently plays for the TMU Bears Pickleball Team and has taught numerous youth camps and clinics over the past several years. He is currently teaching our Foundations Skills and Drills classes at Helen Indoor Pickleball. Not only is Kadin an amazing teacher, he's an incredible person! His friendly personality and intuitive teaching style allows him to get the best out of people. Kadin's racquet background started in tennis. We are excited to have him on our coaching staff for our summer youth camps.

Lunch is not provided for the full or 1/2 day camps. All camps will have heathy snacks like fruit, nuts, etc. For full day camps, students need to bring a sack lunch.
