Ludington Pickleball Camp 3.0 – 3.5 level

• June 24 and June 25, 2024

• 12 - 3 p.m.: 6 hours of immersion pickleball

• Cost: $115.00

• Maximum number of players is 16. The instructor-to-student ratio is 8:1

Focus:

In this camp, you'll learn everything about pickleball from A to Z. Improve your technique through focused drills, learn to build a point and play percentage pickleball, how to avoid injuries, what to consider in a new paddle, proper warmup, and above all have fun while you gain consistency.

The general theme of the camp is to enjoy pickleball by making fewer errors and playing longer point rallies – Gain Consistency. We will accomplish this by introducing a topic, explaining why that skill is important, and providing a demonstration, followed by a focused drill on that skill. After the drill, we will expand into a game reinforcing that skill. In between practice sessions, while taking a well-deserved rest, we will have short discussions on paddles, injury prevention, how to practice, and get the most out of leagues.

Over the course of 2 days and 6 hours on the court, you will receive individual attention to help you improve your pickleball game. After the camp immersion, you will gain confidence, become more effective in league play and maybe be ready to play in that September tournament. But above all, you will have more fun playing pickleball!

• 4 – 6 pm: 4 hours of immersion pickleball

• Cost: $105.00

• The maximum number of players is 8. Instructor-to-student ratio 4:1

Focus:

The theme for this camp is "Mastering the Transition to the Kitchen Line" - points are won at the kitchen and lost at the baseline. The camp will start out with focused drills and fun games to improve each skill needed in a transition, such as drops, drives, blocks, and knowing when to hit soft or hard.

The next set of drills will focus on what shots to use under certain conditions to advance, such as when to drive the ball or when to hit a soft drop shot into the kitchen, when to advance as a team, when to play defense, and waiting for the right shot to advance. These are all critical aspects of winning in advanced play.

The final part of the camp will be gameplay, putting everything together. Emphasis will be on the winning percentage strategy. At the end of the camp, you will have a clear vision of how to transition to the kitchen line for winning pickleball.

With only eight players and two instructors, you will receive lots of individual attention.
