Camps where kids actually learn to play — and want to come back.
Small rosters, four years of coaching kids in the Tustin and Irvine city programs, and a simple standard: every camper leaves better than they arrived, and knows it.
Ages: to be finalized as the first camp is scheduled — join the list below and you’ll be the first to know exact age brackets and dates.
The questions you’re actually asking.
Is it safe and well-run?
Yes. Small groups, full supervision, and a coach who spent four years running youth sessions for two city programs. Structure isn't an add-on here; it's the whole method.
Will my kid actually enjoy it?
Pickleball is the rare sport kids pick up fast enough to have fun on day one. Camps are games-first — the skill work is folded into play, not delivered as lectures.
Will they actually improve?
Every camper gets simple skill tracking across the camp — the same measurement mindset as the adult practice, sized for kids. You'll get a short written note at the end about what your kid worked on and where they landed. Not a participation certificate. An actual answer.
It’s not school. Promise.
You’ll play real games from the first hour, with kids around your age and level. The coaching happens while you play — nobody’s going to make you stand in a line for forty-five minutes.
And yes, you’ll be beating the adults in your family sooner than they’d like.
When and where.
Camps run during school breaks in Irvine and Tustin, with dates announced to the interest list first. Paddles provided if you need one. Rosters are capped small, and they do fill.
Upcoming juniors camps
There’s no standing camp schedule — dates are set and announced individually, tied to school breaks.
No juniors camp scheduled right now.
The next camp — and its exact age brackets — is announced to the interest list first, before it's posted anywhere else.
