Our Mission
We are dedicated to fostering a welcoming community for pickleball enthusiasts of all levels. Our mission is to enhance the confidence of recreational and competitive players, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our Vision
We see a future where pickleball is more than just a sport, it's a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving community.
Our Methodology
Passion meets proficiency
We've been serving pickleballs since 2017. Since then, we’ve spent years on the court, first as players and competitors, and then as teachers. We enjoy passing on our experience to our students, whether they’re brand new or tournament-minded.
We’ve competed at events like the US Open and US Nationals and have been deeply involved in growing pickleball across the Augusta area, working with the Wilson Family YMCA, Patriots Park, Riverview Park, Montclair Courts, and multiple local churches.
Our instructional methods and techniques are built on lessons learned from diverse sources—classes, clinics, workshops, and interactions with the best in the game and from renowned sources like the IPTPA, PPR and USAPB University. We have received training from top-tier players, coaches, and instructors such as Simone Jardin, Sarah Ansboury, Kyle Yates, Helle Sparre and Morgan Evans.
Our approach is grounded in scientific principles, incorporating Kinesiology, Motor Behavior, Skill Development, Sport Psychology and Nutrition.
We pride ourselves on being skilled communicators and educators, proficient in leadership, public speaking and pedagogy. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the court, as we continually invest in improving our content and delivery methods through ongoing education.
As military veterans and senior members of the military intelligence community, our strength lies in meticulous planning and analysis. Drawing from our experience in executing operations under pressure and with various constraints, we bring a unique skill set to the table. This adeptness allows us to apply a thorough process to craft comprehensive training and event plans, ensuring a strategic approach to help you successfully achieve your objectives.
