Costa Rica · 6 days · From USD 8 (indicative)
A typical retreat day starts on court. Drill sessions run before open play, and the club's coaching covers consistency, the pick-up system and shot selection. Coach Manu's sessions are known for being clear and easy to follow, with a bit of humour; Coach Josue's are high-energy and built around tactics and fundamentals. Private and group lessons can be booked alongside the retreat programme.
The club runs a full weekly calendar you can join while you are there. Women's Clinic: Skills & Drills with Ganita runs every Monday from 12:00 to 14:00. Kid's Camp is every Tuesday from 15:00 to 17:00 for all levels and ages under 16, with drills, games and friendly competition. The Junior Pickleball Skills Program runs Thursdays from 15:00 to 16:00. Friday drill sessions, called Picl Up!, start at 09:00 before open play at 10:00 and are open to beginner to intermediate men and women.
Beyond pickleball, the club puts on tournaments — both pickleball and non-pickleball, including corn hole, chess, cards and backgammon — in a relaxed, competitive setting. Prizes are on offer at the pickleball tournaments.
What separates this from a generic sports camp is the location and the add-ons. Jaco is a beach town on the Pacific, and the retreat packages include tours and excursions around Costa Rica, so the week mixes court time with getting out to see the country. The club also runs its own kitchen, .
Court hours are Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 19:00 and Sunday 09:00 to 17:00. Courts can be booked through the club's booking app, and the club notes they fill up fast.
