Impeccable planning down to every little detail...The Pros planned clinics appropriate for any level. This retreat was more about the PURPOSE (pickleball)..everyone in attendance was there to focus on PB... Pinehurst is a great location!

Incredible experience! Mendy and Kendall took care of every detail to make our stay at the retreat a memorable experience. The coaches were amazing! Very professionals but also down to earth.
