Transform Your Pickleball Game with Designed for Lasting Results
The Problem with Most Pickleball Coaching
- And How We’ve Fixed It
You love the game. You’ve put in the hours on the court. You may even compete in tournaments or cash games. But you know you’ve hit a plateau. You feel stuck making the same mistakes, getting beat by the same players, and you’re unsure how to actually break through to the next level.
Unfortunately, most adult “programs”…
Lack a structured curriculum that builds skills in a logical, progressive way.
Don’t track measurable progress or set clear development milestones.
Spend little to no time on tactical decision-making, match strategy, or mental toughness.
Mix in different skill levels in a way that leaves advanced players unchallenged and newer players overwhelmed.
The result? Players spend years “practicing” but see no real change in their game — leaving them frustrated, stuck, and unsure of how to improve.
We’ve completely changed that.
At Briones Pickleball Academy, our Adult Programming gives you access to a proven training system, an elite coaching staff, and a structured path to consistent improvement — all in a focused, competitive, and supportive environment. Every training session is purposeful, every drill has intention, and your progress is measurable.
Our Briones Academy Philosophy
Our training is built around the 4 Pillars of Pickleball: Movement, Technique, Strategy, and the Mental Game. These pillars work together to create a complete player and our program ensures you develop each one with purpose.
Week after week, we will work on these pillars in a structured, progressive way – the same approach we’ve used to transform other players’ games for over a decade.
Pillar 1 – Movement
Footwork is the foundation of great pickleball. Without efficient movement, you won’t be in position to hit your best shots. We’ll analyze your movement patterns and train you to move like top players.
Pillar 2 – Technique
Consistency starts with proper mechanics. We’ll refine your strokes so every shot — from dinks to drives — has purpose and consistent form under pressure.
Pillar 3 – Strategy
Pillar 4 – The Mental Game
Pickleball is as much mental as it is physical. We’ll help you develop the mindset, focus, and composure necessary to execute your game plan even when you are playing under pressure.
Our Elite Coaching Standards
Along with our tried and tested teaching methodology, each of our coaches are hand-selected, and not only have extensive experience playing at the highest levels – but they exude great character, have great communication skills, and offer the highest-level of coaching ability. Along with this, they are genuinely invested in your individual game and success on the court.
Personalized Development for Maximum Improvement
Personalized Development for Maximum Improvement
Every player comes in with different strengths, weaknesses, and styles of play. That’s why we build individualized development plans for every player in our program. You’ll know exactly what to focus on, what to fix, and how to track your progress. Every month, you’ll receive a personalized progress report so that you can see your growth and know your next steps.
How Our Program Works
Evaluation & Goal Setting
We start with a detailed evaluation of your technical skills, movement, strategy, and mental approach. We identify both your strengths and your biggest opportunities for improvement - then we’ll set clear, measurable goals so you know exactly what success looks like and how we’ll get there.
Customized Training Plan
Your training plan is built around your evaluation results and our “4 Pillars Framework”. We prioritize the skills that will make the biggest impact on your game right away, while laying the groundwork for future growth.
On-Court Development Sessions
Every session is intentional and will be led by an elite coach who knows your goals. We use targeted drills, game-scenario work, and situational play to ensure you can execute skills in real matches not just in practice.
Measured Progress & Feedback
We track your improvement with regular check-ins and performance benchmarks. You’ll always know exactly where you stand and what’s next on your development path.
Ongoing Support & Community
As part of Briones Pickleball Academy, you’ll have access to a community of serious players and supportive coaches. We’re here to answer questions, give feedback, and help you prepare for competition every step of the way.
