Summer is winding down and there’s an opportunity to help your child build new skills before they return to school. Are you considering taking professional pickleball lessons? Now is the time to sign up. Our Junior Pickleball Performance Academy has only two weeks left: the week of July 21 is open to players of all levels, and the week of July 28 is for intermediate and advanced players. As these sessions come to a close, so does this year’s summer academy, making them the final chance for young athletes to sharpen their skills before heading back to the classroom.
Make the Most of the Final Weeks of Summer
Families wish the last weeks of summer would slow down. As families start school shopping and fill their calendars with back-to-school activities, they limit opportunities for targeted athletic development. Young athletes have the opportunity to practice regularly without the pressure of balancing homework and other academic obligations, making it a good time to learn new skills and build confidence.
Our remaining academy sessions give players an opportunity to finish their summer with quality instruction that continues to impact them well beyond the season. They can improve their athletic ability, build confidence, and gain an understanding of pickleball this school year rather than waiting until next year.
A Program Designed for Every Young Athlete
The Week of July 21 Is Open to All Skill Levels
Whether it is your child’s first time picking up a paddle or they have basic skills, our July 21 session is for players of all levels. Beginners get an excellent introduction to proper fundamentals, and returning players develop consistency, footwork, and shot selection with structured instruction and guided practice.
Coach Igor will provide individual feedback and motivate players to learn alongside others with similar goals. The combination creates a pleasant atmosphere in which each child can continue to develop at a suitable pace.
The Week of July 28 Is Built for Competitive Players
Our final academy session for the week of July 28 is for intermediate and advanced players looking to take their game to the next level. Athletes develop advanced shot techniques, court placement, strategic judgment, and confidence in competitive play.
The session challenges experienced players while giving them opportunities to practice under realistic game situations, preparing them for future tournaments, leagues, and organized competition.
More Than Just Learning How to Hit the Ball
Building Complete Players
There is so much more to success in pickleball than simply hitting quality shots. They develop better footwork, balance, anticipation, communication, and consistency. We teach our players throughout the academy how to move efficiently, recover after each shot, and recognize patterns to make smarter decisions in matches.
With these skills, children become more confident competitors while developing athletic skills that support participation in many other sports.
Confidence That Extends Beyond the Court
One of the biggest benefits of youth sports is seeing confidence grow with each accomplishment. Players learning new skills are more likely to take risks, communicate with teammates, and have a positive mindset towards competing.
The discipline you build through regular practice also helps you succeed in school and other activities. As players and as individuals, young athletes learn patience, perseverance, and responsibility.
Professional Coaching Creates Better Habits
The right fundamentals from experienced instructors allow young players to develop more efficiently and avoid habits that are hard to break later on. Our academy teaches sound mechanics from day one, so every participant has a stronger foundation for continued improvement.
Each session features instruction, purposeful drills, and supervised gameplay so players learn how to hit each shot and when to use it in competition. Parents often notice more consistency, confidence, and excitement after just a few sessions because the children are starting to see measurable progress in their performance.
Only Two Academy Sessions Remain
Families interested in participating in this year’s Junior Pickleball Performance Academy should move fast, as there are only two sessions left. There are only two sessions left before summer ends, so the week of July 21 is the last chance for young athletes to receive organized instruction before school schedules become much busier.
The week of July 21 is open to everyone, regardless of ability level, and is a fantastic way to establish a strong foundation. The week of July 28 is for intermediate and advanced players looking to sharpen their competitive skills in preparation for the fall season.
Once these two academy sessions are completed, our summer program will be over. Families waiting to register should reserve their child’s place now while spots remain available.
Finish the Summer Strong
There is a short period in the summer when kids can focus on athletic development without the burden of school. These final academy sessions are the last chance for organized pickleball lessons and experienced coaching before busy fall schedules return. Whether your child is just starting out in pickleball or gearing up for a more competitive level, there’s still time to finish the summer with stronger skills, higher confidence, and lasting memories on the court.
