Junior Pickleball Academy | Train Like a Champion

The Ford Pickleball Junior Academy is designed for young athletes who want to develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game in a high-energy, positive environment. Led by PPA Professional Pickleball Player Zane Ford, this academy gives juniors the rare opportunity to train with one of the rising stars on the professional tour while building the fundamentals that create champions both on and off the court.

Our program is perfect for homeschooled and online-schooled students during the day, as well as juniors who want to train after school in the evenings. Each session focuses on skill development, footwork, strategy, and match play while teaching the discipline, mindset, and sportsmanship needed to compete at higher levels. Zane brings the same training methods he uses on the PPA tour, helping players accelerate their improvement and gain confidence on the court.

Beyond just drills, the Ford Junior Academy builds a community of young athletes who encourage and challenge each other. Players develop friendships, learn teamwork, and gain the competitive edge needed to excel in tournaments and league play. Whether your child is new to the sport or already competing, our program is structured to help them grow and reach their potential.
