The Pickleball Experience is built around a coaching team that's genuinely one of a kind. Brian, Peter, and Jem have been teaching together since 2018 — and when all three step on the court together, something special happens. They're down to earth, genuinely funny, and the kind of coaches who have a way of changing lives in ways that go far beyond pickleball. Players come expecting to improve their game. They leave with something they didn't see coming.

At The Pickleball Experience, every retreat and clinic is about more than just the game.
Since 2020, we have committed to donating a portion of every experience to support an orphanage in Mexico that has been close to our hearts since 2008. This incredible place provides children — many of whom were abandoned or came from difficult circumstances — with a loving home, education, and a chance at a new life.
PRIVATE 1 ON 1 COACHING
When you join us, you are not just investing in your game. You are helping make a meaningful difference.
100% of the donations go directly to the children and their care.

OUR MISSION
Make friends, have fun.
Oh, and get better at Pickleball.
At The Pickleball Experience, our mission is simple: help players upgrade their level, improve their strategy, and enjoy the game more than ever.

What is the Pickleball Experience?
We’ll do our best to explain…
We believe there is more to Pickleball than just getting better. Pickleball to us is…an experience. It is people of all walks of life coming together to play, to grow, to laugh, to fail, to compete, to connect, to create, to experiment, to exercise, to learn, to celebrate mind, body and spirit and much much more….
We love what we do. We are students of the game. But more importantly we are students of life and it is our hope that through each and every unique experience we can further our own growth with each and every one of you.
