"Thank you for setting the bar so high — you've really ruined any other pickleball getaways for us."
"Thank you for making pickleball even more enjoyable. The week in Guatemala was made incredibly special by such a talented, kind, and welcoming group of coaches and staff. From the very beginning, the energy was positive, supportive, and fun. As a newer player, I appreciated how clearly you explained techniques. Your coaching style made it easy to learn, practice, and build confidence quickly. I walked away a noticeably stronger and more confident player."

Attentive Pros
This camp was everything I expected and more. The Pros were attentive and met each player at their own ability level. I would recommend this camp to anyone that wants to take their pickleball to the next level, whatever that level may be.
"You and Brian are great!!! It was the best seeing and hanging out with both of you again. I felt it was beneficial to me having a smaller group. Receiving one on one instruction and guidance during the drills will certainly help improve my game. Playing games with and against the two of you was also something that taught me a lot. I would have enjoyed learning more during actual game pace situations because that is one of my weaknesses. I look forward to experiencing your amazing knowledge and talent again soon. Hugs and prayers to you all. Tell Peter he was missed a little. ;)"

First Class Program
Excellent instructors with well sequenced drills and activities designed to cover all important aspects of Pickleball. Highly supportive staff, instructors who know the game from a conceptual as well as functional levels, since they routinely participate in national professional tournaments and are serious students of the game. Well worth it. Lots of humor mixed with the work of skill development.

Just want to say thanks Jem, Brian, and Peter for the training/clinics. I’ve gained so much more understanding of the strategy, mechanics and skill with you guys. Can’t wait to have you come back.

Third year in a row, and more instruction, drills, game play and FUN to keep my game advancing. Peter, Brian, Bradley, and Jem do an outstanding job of tailoring to our levels and needs. Our second invitational in New Mexico doubled in size from one camp to two- maintaining the low player to coach ratio. I fully recommend the Pickleball Experience coaches!
We brought the Pickleball Experience to Albuquerque to teach a group of 16 and it was a great success. Jem, Peter and Bradley (who subbed for Brian) are a lot of fun and great instructors. We are planning to set it up again in the future.
2025 Update - we brought Pickleball Experience back again a year after the first time and it was fantastic again. These guys guys are such great teachers (and players) and really make the experience fun. Im already looking forward to bringing them back again next year.

"Mahalo for such a fabulous clinic. Fun, informative, encouraging, new friends — it was awesome and you three are a fabulous team."
You and your gang were AMAZING!!It was such a fun experience being with you all and our 2 small clinics were fabulous. We played last night in the ladder and I saw a huge difference in my game. I’m finally ready for a little faster ball.
SUZ, HI
