The 3 Biggest Mistakes Players Make When
Choosing a Camp
You're not just signing up for a camp. You're investing in your improvement.
But if you don’t know the right questions to ask, it’s easy to choose wrong and walk away without the progress you came for.
This short guide shows you how to avoid the common mistakes players make when picking a camp, so you can make a smart, confident decision and get the progress you're paying for.
Proof That a Clear Path Works

“I can’t imagine a more thorough camp, and I would recommend it to anyone.”
Jill P.
“It is obvious that a tremendous amount of time and energy went into developing their content because it is not a recycling of the usual internet information.”
Merri W.
“The 3 Pillar Framework that was taught at camp gave me tools to continue improving my game at my pace.”
Gary L.
“I wasn’t just out there banging balls for three days. This really made me a thinking pickleball player.”
Dave S.
“They did a really good job of meeting every player where they were and giving instructions that were specific to that person.”
Denise M.
Being at camp added so much clarification to my game, and yes, I am talking about ALL three pillars.

“This camp encompassed more aspects of pickleball than the others I have gone to. Highly recommend this camp.”

Meet Your Coach
CJ Johnson
"My commitment is to see students not as they are, but as what they can become."
Whether you're looking to gain confidence on the court, understand strategy at a deeper level, improve consistency, or simply enjoy the game more, my goal is to help you make meaningful progress while having fun along the way.
At Better Pickleball Camps, you'll receive personalized coaching, practical instruction, and a clear framework for improvement. I believe every player—regardless of age, experience, or skill level—can continue to learn, grow, and enjoy the game at a higher level.
In 2016, I launched the Better Pickleball YouTube channel to provide clear, practical pickleball instruction to players who were tired of conflicting advice and information overload. Since then, I've had the opportunity to help thousands of players through Better Pickleball Camps, The Pickleball System, The Pickleball Academy, and our growing community of players around the country.
If you're ready to become a more confident player and enjoy pickleball in a whole new way, I'd love to welcome you to camp.
