Greg Eisman
Hi, I'm your coach — Greg Eisman.
I picked up a paddle in 2009, back when you still had to explain to people what pickleball was. I've been teaching it ever since.
Before that I spent 24 years in the US Navy. Which is more relevant than it sounds, because what the Navy does all day is take people who have never done a thing before and make them good at it.
Then I was a pickleball Ambassador in Louisiana, and the whole job was running clinics for brand new players. These days I'm the teaching pro at the Sun City Center courts, where most of the people I coach are picking up a sport for the first time in decades.
So a beginners camp isn't a change of pace for me. It's my week.
How I coach
- 1
I watch you play before I say anything. You've got one or two habits costing you most of your points, and they're not the same as the person next to you.
- 2
Then I fix one thing at a time. Give a new player ten corrections and they remember none of them. Give them one and they take it home.
- 3
And I teach the rules properly, because that's the real reason people don't join games. Not the dink. Not the serve. It's not being sure where to stand and being afraid of getting it wrong in front of everyone.
Come in never having played, and here's your Saturday:
- ✓Your serve goes in. Not sometimes, consistently.
- ✓You know the kitchen rule, the two-bounce rule and how to score, without anyone having to remind you.
- ✓You stop lunging at balls and start moving your feet to them.
- ✓You play real points, in front of people, and enjoy it.
Here’s your whole Saturday.
Names first, then paddles
Meet your group of eight, easy warm-up, first rallies while Greg starts reading your game.
The court, in plain English
The kitchen, the two-bounce rule, scoring. Ask anything.
Grip & soft hands
Looser than you think. The touch drill that makes day one feel like week three.
Dinking, the soft game
The little shot everyone talks about, drilled until it stops popping up. Ends with a longest-rally contest.
Serve & return
In. Deep. Repeatable. Drilled against a target until it's yours.
Break
Water, a seat, and the part where the group chat gets made.
Volleys & the third shot
Hands at the net, and the one shot that gets you up to where points are won.
Where to stand in doubles
Move together, take the middle, stop colliding with your partner.
Real games, Greg courtside
Live points with your coach calling what to try next.
Your path forward
A recap of what you improved, and what to work on next week.
What a RallyUp camp looks like.
It was never about the paddle.
The paddle is just the excuse. What actually changes is that you stop saying maybe next time when someone asks you to play, and you walk onto a court full of strangers knowing you belong there.
You spend the day with seven people in exactly your spot, learning the same things at the same speed. Nobody is waiting on you, nobody is showing off. By the afternoon you're laughing between points with people whose names you didn't know at 9am.
Most groups swap numbers before they leave, and the chat keeps going long after camp day. That's how one Saturday turns into a standing thing you look forward to all week.
All of it starts on one Saturday
Is this camp for you?
It’s for you if…
- ✓You picked up a paddle recently and love it, but real games still feel shaky
- ✓You're 40, 50, 60, 70. Most of our players are
- ✓You want a coach watching your game, not a lecture with a paddle in your hand
- ✓You'd rather learn with 7 other beginners than sink-or-swim at open play
It’s not for you if…
- ✗You're a 4.0 with tournament weekends booked
- ✗You want 20 straight games and zero coaching
- ✗You're looking for a kids' program
