High-Level Training for Serious Junior Athletes
NJP Bootcamp is the most intensive junior pickleball training experience available- built for athletes who are serious about their game and ready to prove it.
This isn’t a recreational camp. It’s a professional development environment where every hour is purposeful, every session is coached, and every player is pushed to grow.
Over five days, athletes will train alongside world-class coaches in an immersive program that leaves no part of their game untouched.
Nearly 5.5 hours on court every training day — 20 hours across the week.
Each full training day includes:
- Nearly 3.5 hours of structured on-court technical development
- 2 hours of competitive match play and live point scenarios
- A dedicated off-court session — strength and conditioning, mental performance, or gratitude/mindfulness training and journaling
- A team meeting and check-in to close the day
With a low player-to coach ratio, athletes receive a level of individual attention that simply doesn’t exist at other camps. Our elite coaches travel the world teaching the game at the highest levels — and they bring that same standard to every session at Bootcamp.
Beyond the court, players will build real connections through team based experiences designed to foster the culture, accountability, and competitive drive that define elite athletes.
NJP Bootcamp sets the standard for junior pickleball development.
Come ready to work. Leave a better player.
Registration & Pricing
What Players Can Expect
- Elite Coaching — Hyper-personalized, world class coaching that ensures every player receives the individual attention needed to truly elevate their game.
- Opening Player Assessment — Before training begins, coaches play with and watch every athlete play at Orientation. That way day one starts with targeted work, not evaluation.
- Advanced Technical Development — This isn’t a camp that masks weaknesses — it’s one that confronts them head-on. Coaches will identify and target specific mechanical deficits holding your game back.
- High-Repetition Competitive Drilling — Purposeful, intense reps designed to lock in technical adjustments and make new habits second nature under pressure.
- Live Point Scenarios — Structured, coach-directed points and games that force the day’s technical work into a competitive setting while the correction is still fresh.
- Weapons Refinement & Offensive/Defensive Expansion — Sharpen your existing strengths while building a more complete, versatile game on both sides of the ball.
- Tactical & Strategic IQ Training — One of the most underrated dimensions of elite pickleball. Coaches will run scenario-based drills engineered to sharpen decision-making, pattern recognition, and in-match strategy.
- Coached Match Play vs. Advanced Local Players (5.0+) — A rare and invaluable experience. Young competitors will face high-level, unfamiliar adult opponents while receiving real-time coaching — a combination almost impossible to find anywhere else.
- Off-Site Strength & Conditioning — A dedicated session at a training facility, built around pickleball-specific movement, power, and durability. Led personal trainer whose background is in exercise science.
- Koomba Mental Performance Training — A dedicated session on the mental skills that hold up under pressure, on and off the court.
- Mindfulness /Gratitude Journaling — Athletes learn to slow down, reflect, and record what they’re working on — the habit that turns a week of camp into months of improvement. Athletes will also start to be aware of the help it takes in order for them to achieve their goals and dreams and will implement strategies to recognize their support system.
- Strategy Sessions — Players will develop the ability to analyze their own game, recognize strategic patterns in real time, build reflective habits and the capability to execute the adjustments it takes to be a high-performance competitor
- Daily Team Meetings & Check-Ins — Every day opens and closes as a group. Athletes debrief their sessions, hear where they stand, and go into the next day with a plan.
- Between-Session Homework — Athletes leave sessions with assigned work. What gets built at Bootcamp is meant to be carried home.
- Showcase Day — Camp closes with live points and games in front of families — a chance to see the work each athlete has put in.
- Written Post-Camp Player Assessment — Every athlete leaves with an individualized written evaluation from their coaches: strengths, weaknesses, and what to work on before the next event.
- Team Building & Social Experiences — Camp is intense — and intentionally so. But we balance that intensity with two team activities, and an evening free to rest. Players can decompress, build real friendships, and grow alongside peers who share the same drive.
- Exclusive NJP Bootcamp Player Kit — Every attendee receives a custom NJP Bootcamp player kit unavailable to the public — a badge of belonging to an elite group of athletes committed to the pursuit of excellence who trained together.

Meet Your Coaches
Meet Your Coaches
These coaches have trained pros and amateurs around the world. At Bootcamp, they’re focused on one thing: developing you.
Ben McNair, PhD — NJP Academy Director
Ben brings 16 years of high-performance racquet and paddle coaching to every session, backed by a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and deep expertise in biomechanics, physiology, and kinesiology. He has a rare ability to identify exactly what’s holding a player back — and fix it. He currently plays professionally and coaches clinics for Pickleball Getaways under Ben Johns and Dekel Bar. He brings the science and the receipts. At NJP Bootcamp, his precision meets his passion.
Ben began coaching in 2010 and has worked with juniors, collegiate athletes, and adults ever since. Alongside his PhD, he holds a master’s in Kinesiology and a degree in Exercise Science, and served as a postdoctoral researcher before moving to coaching full time. He is also an RPO clinician. Ben leads every NJP Bootcamp personally — he is on court for every session, every day.
Supporting Coaching Staff
Ben is joined by additional NJP coaches selected for each Bootcamp — competitive pro players and experienced instructors who keep the athlete-to-coach ratio low and give every player more eyes on their game.
NJP Coaches are setting the gold standard for what junior pickleball coaching can be. You will leave this camp a different player than when you arrived.
Don’t Take Our Word For It! Hear From Bootcamp Families
“NJP bootcamp was the most memorable and influential pickleball event our son has ever attended. It was well structured and offered a tremendous boost to his overall game, while making it fun and enjoyable. He is still asking me when the next camp will be!“
“NJP Bootcamp was a great experience – a highlight was the personalization of the coaching each player received. The coaches were committed to developing the “whole player” and I especially appreciated the in depth player evaluation we received at the end of camp. We look forward to the next one!”
“The camp was excellent – a great way for the juniors to get together, get to know each other better, plus focus on improving at pickleball through the great coaching.“
