At PLEY Sports, our pickleball program is designed to welcome everyone, even those who might not think of themselves as “sports kids.”
Does your child shy away from traditional sports like soccer or basketball? Or maybe they’re just looking for something fresh and fun?
Enter pickleball—the fastest-growing sport in the country, and an ideal activity for kids of all interests and abilities.
A Sport for All Kids
With its smaller court, beginner-friendly rules, and focus on fun rather than fierce competition, pickleball breaks down the barriers that often make team sports feel overwhelming, without sacrificing the friendly competition.
At PLEY Sports, we believe every child deserves to feel confident and capable, whether they’re an athlete-in-the-making or just exploring something new.
Our coaches focus on fostering a supportive environment where kids can thrive, make friends, and have fun without the pressure to perform.
Building Confidence Through Play
Programs like PLEY Sports’ pickleball facilitate personal growth in young athletes.
For kids in our program, it’s an opportunity to build confidence as they master new skills and discover the value of teamwork in an environment that prioritizes encouragement over intimidation.
Pickleball strikes a perfect balance, blending fast-paced excitement with accessibility to keep kids engaged. With guidance from our supportive coaches and carefully designed drills, kids can confidently explore the game, whether they’re trying a sport for the first time or building on existing skills—all at their own pace.
At PLEY Sports, we make stepping onto the court easy and fun. By focusing on growth over perfection, we create a space where every child feels confident to try, learn, and thrive.
Holly Payad, Recreation Supervisor at the City of San Marcos, shared her excitement about working with PLEY Sports:
Our first year offering pickleball camps with PLEY Sports was such a huge success! Coach John really went above and beyond to make sure the kids were comfortable in the summer heat—he even set up misters on the courts and scheduled plenty of breaks. The kids not only had a blast learning pickleball but also felt cared for every step of the way. Because of this success, we’re now running a weekly youth clinic and can’t wait to host more pickleball camps this summer.
Teamwork, Growth, and the Joy of Trying Something New
Pickleball at PLEY Sports goes beyond fun—it’s about building character. Through teamwork and good sportsmanship, kids gain skills that stick with them. Winter and Fall camps welcomed kids of all levels, from first-timers to seasoned players, and our coaches ensured every child felt accomplished.
Whether working as a team or celebrating individual wins, we help kids grow in ways that matter.
Get in on the Fun
As we gear up for another exciting year, PLEY Sports’ pickleball program is the perfect way to start 2024. Whether your child is a beginner or looking to refine their skills, our program offers something for everyone.
