Two ways to coach with us

Head coach

You run the camp in your city, coach six of the twelve players, and pick your second coach.

Second coach

You coach the other six players alongside the head coach, on the same curriculum.

Indoor courts

What the camp is

—Four hours, usually 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
—Twelve players, 2.9 to 3.5 — people who have been stuck at the same level for a year or more and know it.
—Two coaches, six players each.
—Indoor, climate-controlled courts.
—A set curriculum, the same in every city.

WE DO

Market the camp and sell every spot
Run registration and handle all the money

YOU DO

Show up and coach for four hours

You are not responsible for filling the camp.

What you get

✓Paid hourly, based on your certifications and your reach
✓Commission on paddle sales at your camp
✓Commission on any players you bring in — entirely optional, and there is no quota
✓Head coaches pick their second coach
✓A 2026 camp if you’re in one of our 2026 cities, and up to five camps in your city in 2027

What we ask

—You cover our curriculum. How you teach it is yours — what you teach isn’t.
—You wear Breakthrough gear at camp, carrying our paddle partner’s logo.
—You play our paddle partner’s paddle at camp, and you don’t promote another brand around the event.

Our paddle partner is Diadem. If you’re sponsored by a paddle company right now, tell us in the form below. We need to know whether you’d be able and willing to coach with ours instead.

Who Breakthrough is

Breakthrough Pickleball runs half-day camps for recreational players who have stopped improving. Most people who play this sport never set foot in an indoor facility, so they never get access to high-end coaching. They pick up bad habits, plateau, and have no plan for getting past it.

Camps and clinics that fix that are usually expensive and eat a full weekend. We built the opposite: four hours, twelve players, two coaches, indoor courts, and a curriculum written for the 50-plus game. We travel it city to city, and we need a head coach in each one.

Jared Jolly

Co-Founder

An entrepreneur for 30 years. Jared sold his business in 2023, got deep into pickleball, and in October 2024 opened Pickleball Kingdom North Austin — 11 indoor courts in Pflugerville. Running a club is where he saw the coaching gap Breakthrough exists to close. He plays at a 4.75 DUPR and competes with the Austin Bandits Texas Senior Pro team.

Foster Johnson

Co-Founder

Coach, 5.1 DUPR, PPA competitor with multiple gold medals, and a sponsored tournament player. Foster built the curriculum around the reasoning behind the game, not just drills — and he is the person who will call you.

Where we are

We’ll be straight with you: Breakthrough Pickleball is a new company. We run traveling half-day camps for recreational players who have stopped improving — four hours, twelve players, two coaches, indoor courts — and our first two, Austin and Dallas on October 23 and 24, both sold out. Austin sold out so fast we added a court and a third coach, and it sold out again. Our St. Pete / Clearwater camp on November 7 has sold out too. Twelve camps are on the 2026 calendar, and in 2027 our goal is 75 cities.

Foster reads every one of these. If it looks like a fit, he’ll call you.
