SKILL LEVELS & GROUP PLACEMENT

Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Participants are then sorted by ability first, then age per the Camp Director's discretion - adjustments are made as needed during camp.

While there are many ways to define skill levels, the following descriptions are what the Camp Directors at Nike Pickleball Camps will use to organize and group camp participants. At the time of registration, please choose the level that best represents your experience:

• Beginner: Players at this level are new to pickleball and have little to no experience. They can hit basic shots and possess a fundamental understanding of the rules, scoring, and court positioning. Focus is on building confidence and familiarity with the game. (No rating or DUPR rating 1.0 - 2.0)
  ‍
• Low-Intermediate: Players at this level understand the rules and strategy of pickleball and can sustain rallies using a mix of shots. They can hit with some spin and accuracy, resulting in fewer unforced errors. Focus is on refining technique, improving court awareness, and developing strategic play. (DUPR rating 2.0-3.0)
  ‍
• Intermediate: Players at this level are proficient in all aspects of the game and employ strategies in gameplay. They exhibit good footwork and an understanding of gameplay dynamics. This level focuses on competitive play, advanced shot-making, and tactical decision-making. (DUPR rating 3.0+)

Week 1 - Pickleball Fundamentals:

The first step in this grand journey! In Week 1, we'll be diving into the basics. Grip that paddle like it's your ticket to pickleball paradise! We'll cover the sweet science of serving, introduce you to the kitchen (no, not the cooking kind), and teach you to move around the court like a dancing cucumber.

Week 2 - Dink It Like It's Hot:

Welcome to Week 2, where we explore the art of the dink. It's not just a cute word, my friend – it's a strategy! Get ready to finesse your shots, control the pace, and leave your opponents feeling like they're trying to catch a slippery eel.
‍

Week 3 - Smash and Dash:

Week 3 is here, and we're cranking up the energy! It's time to unleash the beast – the smash. Channel your inner power and let those balls fly! But remember, it's not all strength – we'll also fine-tune your footwork so you're dashing around the court like a well-dressed pickleball ninja.
‍

Week 4 - Mind Games and Strategy:

Now we're getting tactical! Week 4 is all about the mind games. We'll explore strategies, mind-boggling angles, and deceptive shots that will leave your opponents scratching their heads. It's like a mental chess match but with more giggles and fewer knights.
