Universal Rackets runs pickleball camps for kids and for adults across the Philadelphia suburbs. Junior summer camps run Monday to Thursday mornings all summer in township parks. Adult pickleball camps are one-day and weekend intensives for players who want to make a big jump in a short time: a full beginner course in a day, or a 3.0-to-3.5 push over a weekend. Paddles and balls provided.
Monday to Thursday, 9:00 to 12:00, with a Friday rain date. Games, drills and friendly competition every morning. Pickleball-only, tennis-only, or combined pickleball and tennis weeks by town.

A full beginner clinic compressed into one day or one weekend: rules, scoring, serve, return, dink, third shot and real games. Walk in never having played, walk out able to join open play.
How Adult Camps Work
A weekend of drilling the shots that separate levels: third shot drop, resets, speed-ups, transition zone and doubles patterns, with video and live play.
How Adult Camps Work
Book a camp for your HOA, 55+ community, club, company or friend group. We bring coaches, nets, paddles and balls to your courts or ours.
Book a Private CampHalf-day camps that keep kids moving all morning and send them home better players.
Our junior pickleball camps run Monday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm in township parks across Montgomery, Chester, Bucks and Delaware County, with Friday held as a rain date. Each week is $295 for the full morning (a tennis-only or pickleball-only 90-minute option is $185 where offered). Campers are grouped by age and level, ages 7 to 14, and every morning mixes skill stations, games and a camp tournament so first-timers and experienced juniors both have a great week.
Weeks sell out in the bigger towns by late spring. Registration opens each winter and the summer camps page lists every town, week and price as soon as the township confirms its courts. Many of our camp families also keep their kids in a junior clinic during the school year.

Adult pickleball camps are the fastest way to go from zero to playing, or from stuck to improving. A beginner camp covers everything in our five-week beginner clinic in a single day or a weekend: the rules and scoring, the serve and return, the dink, the third shot, court positioning and live games, with a coach correcting your technique on the spot. An intermediate intensive takes a weekend to drill the specific shots that separate a 3.0 player from a 3.5 or a 3.5 from a 4.0, with pattern work, video and scenario play.
Adult camps run seasonally in partnership with townships, JCCs and community organizations, and on request for private groups of eight or more at your courts or ours. Dates and prices are posted on the town page and under Events as each one is confirmed, and camp announcements go to our newsletter first. If you would like a camp in your town, or for your group, tell us where and when and we will put one together.
Between camps, the weekly adult clinic series is the steady option: five weeks, one session a week, grouped by level, in more than 45 towns.
