The Academy focuses on skill development, strategy, and competitive preparation through high-rep, practical coaching.

High Performance Squad

An invitation-based training squad for advanced players who want to compete against other high-level players, sharpen their game, and prepare for tournament success. Sessions follow a structured plan, with targeted coaching feedback and measurable goals to accelerate improvement in consistency, shot selection, and tactical decision-making. This squad is also the key pathway for players who want to make themselves available for selection into the region’s top representative group, the Illawarra Pickleball Team who will be competing against other regions across the state and nationally.

Clinics

Short, topic-focused coaching sessions designed to fast-track improvement in specific areas (e.g., serve/return, dinking, third-shot options, transition zone, doubles movement). Clinics are coach-led, high-repetition, and built around clear takeaways players can apply immediately in competitive play, ideal for players aiming to lift their level and perform better against stronger opponents. Our clinics can be set up and delivered at venues across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region. 

Programs

A structured series of sessions delivered over multiple weeks to build skills progressively and reliably. Programs are level-based (beginner to advanced) with clear learning outcomes, combining technical foundations, tactical development, and match strategy. They’re designed to develop players into confident, competitive athletes who can perform under pressure, step up into stronger divisions, and achieve success in tournaments with a clear pathway for those pushing toward higher-level competition.
