- Phoenix: Too hot May-September (115°F+ kills performance)
- Florida: Thunderstorms cancel 30% of summer sessions
- Colorado: Snow shuts down outdoor courts 4+ months yearly
Your Instructor Actually Plays Tournament Pickleball
Stephen Moore doesn’t just teach pickleball—he wins matches at 5.0+ tournaments across Hawaii and the mainland. When he shows you a backhand technique, it’s the same one he used to beat opponents last weekend.
His tournament credentials:
- PCI (Professional Pickleball Coaching International) certified
- Active 5.0+ tournament competitor
- Former tennis pro who made the transition successfully
- Coached his wife Victoria from beginner to tournament player in 18 months
“If you want a first class trip that also includes pickleball… take a trip with them… .you won’t be sorry… you WILL have a ton of fun!”

Our Pickleball Trips & Camps have been featured in:
Small Groups Mean You Actually Get Personal Attention
We cap every Honolulu camp at 32 players maximum. You’re not lost in a crowd of 60+ people fighting for instructor time. Every player gets specific feedback on their technique, strategy, and mental game.
Here’s exactly what you get:
- Grouped by skill level (no 2.0 players mixed with 4.5s)
- Maximum 8 players per court during drills
- Personal video analysis of your technique
- Custom practice plan to take home
Fix Mental Game Mistakes That Cost You Matches
- Stay calm when losing 2-8: Learn the reset routine Stephen uses during tournament comebacks. No more meltdowns when opponents go on runs.
- Handle partner frustration: Specific communication strategies that keep your doubles team focused instead of imploding.
- Confidence after errors: Stop letting one bad shot ruin the next five. You’ll practice the mental techniques pros use to bounce back instantly.
Strategy That Actually Wins Points
- When to speed up vs. stay patient: Most players speed up too early and give away points. Learn the specific triggers that tell you when to attack.
- Stack positioning secrets: Create easy put-away opportunities through proper court positioning. This isn’t covered in most YouTube videos.
- Reading opponent body language: Anticipate shots before they happen by watching specific movement cues.
Master These Specific Shots
- Third shot drops that actually land soft: Most players hit them too hard or into the net. You’ll learn the exact grip pressure, swing path, and follow-through that works.
- Deceptive spin serves: Add 3-4 serve variations that keep opponents guessing. Stephen teaches the wrist snap technique that generates maximum spin without sacrificing accuracy.
- One-handed backhand drives: Attack from your weaker side instead of always playing defense. This shot alone moves most players up half a rating level.
- The erne (when it actually works): Stop hitting into the net. Learn the timing and footwork that makes this showoff shot practical.
Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Attend These Pickleball Camps
Perfect For:
- Intermediate players stuck at their rating (3.0-4.0): You know the basics but keep losing to players you should beat. Small technical flaws cost you games.
- Tennis players transitioning to pickleball: The sports look similar but require completely different strategies. Learn what transfers and what needs retraining.
- Active adults 50+ who want serious improvement: Join Hawaii’s most welcoming pickleball community while getting professional instruction.
- Groups planning Hawaiian vacations: Perfect centerpiece for friend/family trips. Everyone improves while creating amazing memories.
Skip This Camp If:
- You’re a complete beginner: We require 2.5+ rating and basic scoring knowledge. Take a few local lessons first, then come back when you can sustain 10-shot rallies.
- You just want casual recreation: These are intensive improvement camps. If you prefer social play without structured coaching, this isn’t for you.
- You’re not physically active: 6 hours of training in tropical weather demands reasonable fitness. We provide breaks, but you’ll be moving constantly.
