“Best money I've ever spent on this game. The drills alone changed how I play. I went from popping every shot up to actually controlling the kitchen exchange.”

★Why Players Plateau
More court time isn't the answer. Real coaching is.
Most players hit a wall because they're practicing the same patterns over and over. The fix is structured coaching from someone who actually watches your game.
01
Stuck at the same level.
You've been playing the same skill bracket for months. More games haven't moved the needle.
02
Picking up bad habits.
Open play teaches you what works once — not what works consistently. The same misses keep showing up.
03
No idea what to fix.
You know something's off. You don't know what. A coach watching for an hour tells you more than 20 hours of guessing.
04
Practicing without progress.
You're putting in the time. The results aren't following. The gap is structured coaching — and a community that keeps you sharp.
★Sound like you? A Lone Star camp is built for the player you are right now.

★What You Walk Away With
A written plan for the player you actually are.
Every Lone Star camp ends the same way: your coach writes you a personalized improvement plan ranking your weakest patterns, with the specific drills to fix each. Delivered within 7 days. Yours forever.
01Your top 3 leaks, ranked
Your coach watched you for 4 hours. They know exactly which patterns are costing you the most points. Those go to the top of the plan.
02A specific drill for each leak
Not generic YouTube drills. Three drills mapped to your shots, with reps, frequency, and what 'fixed' looks like.
03A community to drill with
Lone Star Players access — find a partner in your area, swap drill notes, ask the coach a follow-up. Built-in accountability.
04A coach who'll remember you
Same coaches run camps month after month. Come back in 8 weeks and they'll know what they told you to fix — and check your work.
★How It Works
Plateau to breakthrough — start to finish.
No coaching apps. No 6-week programs. No homework. One camp, a small group of players just like you, and a coach whose only job is your game.
- 01
Reserve your seat
Pick a camp date. Hold your spot. Small groups — when they're full, they're full.
- 02
Show up to camp
A real coach watches every rally — and tells you exactly what's holding you back. No script, no fluff.
- 03
Walk off with a plan
A written improvement plan from your coach lands in your inbox within 7 days. Yours forever.

★Why Lone Star
Eight players. Real coaching. A guarantee that actually means something.
We're not the biggest pickleball camp brand. We're the one that doesn't pack 16 strangers onto two courts and call it instruction.
The Lone Star Promise
Walk away with a personalized improvement plan and 3 specific drills tailored to your game — or your next camp's on us.
Small groups. Half the size of a typical camp.
More reps per player. More direct feedback. No sitting on the sideline waiting for your turn.
Dual-certified coaches who can actually play
Every Lone Star coach is PPR + IPTPA certified, DUPR 4.0+, and has 5+ years coaching beginners and intermediates specifically.
Less overhead than the national chains.
We're a lean Texas operation — so what we save goes into smaller groups and better coaching, not bigger margins.
Right-level environment
Every player in your camp is rated within your skill range. You won't be the slow one in a room of better players.

★Common Questions
Before you reserve.
Two tracks. Beginner camps are for DUPR 2.0–2.9 (still learning rules, basics, dink). Intermediate is DUPR 3.0–3.5 (comfortable with the basics, working on consistency and strategy). Every camp groups players within the same window — you won't be the slow one or the bored one.
DUPR is the universal pickleball rating — like a golf handicap. You don't need a published DUPR to attend. We'll ask a couple of self-rating questions when you reserve and slot you into the right level. If you're between tracks, we'll tell you straight which one will move your game.
