As a testament to the growing popularity of the oddly-named sport in a widening segment of the population, US Sports Camps, the official provider of Nike Sports Camps, has launched Nike Pickleball Camps, joining a line-up of 21 other sports camp disciplines for kids of all ages.

The US Sports Camps pickleball program will be directed by some professional pickleball players offering insight into key skills and different levels of competitive play.

“We strive to help people of all ages and backgrounds become active and enjoy the freedom that sports bring,” explains Justin Hoeveler, CEO of US Sports Camps. “Pickleball is an accessible sport that’s fast-paced, easy to pick up, and highly social — and it’s the perfect addition to our line-up in a time when more people are looking to stay active.”

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in San Rafael, CA, US Sports Camps is a leading youth sports camp company serving more than 100,000 campers across more than 1200 camps in 48 states.
