Selkirk Academy Support

Other camps/clinics offer a "mile-wide, inch-deep" overview of every skill. Selkirk Academy does the opposite. Our 2-day camps utilize a "Depth Over Breadth" philosophy, focusing on one specific "Focus" (like Power or Precision) to ensure you actually master a skill set rather than just hearing tips about it.

Camps run for two consecutive days. Typically from 9am-4pm with a 1hr break for lunch (exceptions will be noted).

As part of your registration, you will receive two high-quality lunches served by the facility’s restaurant, a discount code for specific Selkirk merchandise (usable online after your camp), along with a rotating set of Selkirk gear & merchandise. Some facilities have additional benefits, such as a discount at nearby hotels.

Instead of grouping players strictly by skill level (3.0, 3.5, etc.), we group by the goal of the session. You choose the "Focus" that matches what you want to improve:

• Foundations: Building the right habits from the ground up.
• Power: Mastering pace and speed in all situations.
• Precision: Gaining on-demand control and ball placement.
• Competition: Advanced strategies for tournament-style play.

We believe you can't fix what you can't see. After the camp, your coach will send you two personalized video analyses breaking down your technical shots and your tactical decisions during gameplay.

We utilize cutting edge AI technology that records your games and automatically creates a granular analysis of the game. It tracks every shot, categorizing them by player, success/failure, etc. It shows you how often you got up to the net, what your best shots were, and even breaks down how well you played in that specific game (using a scoring method similar to DUPR ranking).

Because of our focus-based system, we welcome a wide range of players. However, we generally recommend players have a basic understanding of the rules and scoring. For those brand new to the sport, we highly recommend starting with our Fundamental Pickleball camp.

Yes! While you are welcome to bring your own paddle, every Selkirk Academy camp features a Demo Paddle Fleet. You will have the opportunity to test the latest Selkirk technology on court at no additional cost.

Please bring comfortable court shoes, a water bottle, and athletic attire. We provide high-quality Selkirk balls and all necessary training equipment. If the facility you are attending has outdoor courts, you may want to bring sunscreen and any other outdoor gear you may want to have.

Our camps are led by local coaches who have undergone a rigorous training and observation program led by world-class coach developers. Our 8:1 student-to-coach ratio with an additional camp assistant ensures you get the individual attention you need.

Selkirk Academy is a "hub for continuous improvement." You won't just leave with a water bottle; you’ll receive a digital follow-up package with personalized feedback from one of your coaches on both skills videos and gameplay footage.
