Junior Program

Our Junior Program offers a fun and supportive introduction to the game of pickleball for kids ages 8–17. Whether they’re brand new to the sport or just getting started, this program is designed to help young players build confidence, develop fundamental skills, and most importantly—have fun. Through engaging drills and guided game play, participants will learn the basic essentials of pickleball, including hand-eye coordination, footwork, and movement specific to the sport. With a mix of 1-day and multi-week clinics—and more offerings to come—it’s the perfect way for juniors to get active, make new friends, and start their pickleball journey.
