San Diego, California

Instructor: Lon Krantz

Three days of pickleball on Coronado Island — one of the most beautiful places in America to play, learn, and recharge.

June 19–21, 2026 | $595 per player | Limited to just 16 spots

There's pickleball, and then there's pickleball at the Coronado JW Marriott — steps from the Pacific Ocean on one of Southern California's most iconic resort islands. RISE Pickleball's 3-day San Diego Camp combines serious on-court improvement with a setting that makes the whole experience feel like the getaway you've been promising yourself.

Led by top RISE instructor Lon Krantz, this intimate camp is built for 3.0–3.5 players who are ready to move beyond the plateau — playing with more consistency, fewer unforced errors, and real confidence in competitive situations.

With just 16 available spots and a 1:8 instructor-to-student ratio, you'll get the kind of individual attention that's simply not available in larger group settings.

What We Will Work On 

With 12 hours of focused, on-court instruction across three days, Lon will guide your group through the fundamentals that separate improving players from stuck ones:

• Technique, strategy, and shot selection
• Reducing unforced errors and building consistency
• Communication and partner movement
• Stroke mechanics — identified through video analysis on Day 1 so you can actually see what needs work

What's Included

• 12 hours of personal, on-court instruction 
• Low 1:8 instructor-to-student ratio for maximum individual attention
• Video recording and review of your basic strokes on Day 1
• Optional group dinner after Day 1 to connect with fellow campers
• Optional Happy Hour after the final session on Day 3

The RISE Pickleball Method

Every topic follows the same proven structure: Lon introduces and demonstrates the skill, your group practices it through a purpose-built drill, then applies it immediately in game situations designed to reinforce exactly what you just learned. No theory without practice. No practice without context.

Enjoy pickleball with longer point rallies, become more effective in rec and league play, and build confidence to play in tournaments. But most of all — have more fun.

What to Know About Getting to Coronado JW Marriott

Coronado Island is accessible from downtown San Diego via the iconic Coronado Bridge or a short ferry ride. San Diego International Airport (SAN) is one of the most well-connected airports in the West, with direct flights from most major US cities. We recommend booking accommodations early — Coronado fills up fast in June. The JW Marriott and surrounding Coronado hotels put you right in the heart of the action.
