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.

Important Details
Transportation
We recommend arriving before 3:00 p.m. on start date so you can settle in and join us for our welcome dinner that evening. The drive from the airport to Antigua is about one hour.
We’ll collect your flight details ahead of time to ensure we’re ready for your arrival. Once you’ve picked up your luggage, head to the exit and look for the sign that says “Pickleball Experience”—we’ll be there to greet you!
Sample Itinerary Outline
This schedule provides a general idea of what to expect during your trip. Exact times and activities may change, and you’ll receive your personalized itinerary by email as we get closer to the start date.

Upon arrival at La Aurora International Airport (GUA), if airport security asks for your destination, let them know you’re heading to Porta Hotel Antigua.
After collecting your luggage, exit the terminal to find your driver holding a “Pickleball Experience” sign.
