Private lessons, semi-private, group coaching, and structured camp programs — all led personally by Gautam Sethi. Every level, every format, all across San Diego.
Whether you want personalised 1:1 coaching or an immersive multi-day camp experience, Gautam runs both — at every skill level.
Train directly with Gautam in a format built around your specific game, goals, and schedule.
Multi-day immersive camp programs for every level — from first-time players to competitive 4.0+ athletes.
I've been playing and coaching pickleball in San Diego since 2012. What started as weekend clinics at Balboa Park became SD Pickleball Camps — and a decade of private lessons with players from complete beginners to competitive 4.5+ athletes.
My coaching philosophy is simple: watch you play first, then build a plan around what you actually need — not a generic template.
Every lesson is led personally by Gautam. Pick the format that fits your goals, group size, and budget.
100% of Gautam's attention on your specific game, goals, and weaknesses. The fastest path to real improvement — with custom plan and video analysis every session.
Train with your partner or playing buddy. Real coaching attention at better value — and you work on doubles strategy you actually use together in real games.
Theme-based sessions for small groups — friends, league teams, or corporate events. Structured drills, coached scrimmage, and quality instruction at the most accessible price.
Every camp is designed around a specific level — with a full curriculum, small groups, and expert coaching from start to finish.

"I was stuck at 3.8 DUPR for almost a year. Within two months of weekly private sessions with Gautam I broke 4.0 and placed in my first regional tournament."
"I had zero experience and was nervous going in. By Day 2 I was dinking and actually rallying consistently. The small group size means you get real coaching time."
"My husband and I do semi-private lessons every week. Not only has our game improved dramatically, our DUPR has both gone up by 0.4 in four months."
"The match analytics alone were worth the entire camp fee. My DUPR went from 4.1 to 4.4 in the three months after camp."
"Our friend group of 5 does a group lesson every Saturday morning. Genuinely useful coaching at a price that doesn't hurt. Gautam keeps it structured but fun."
"My 10-year-old came home every single day talking about camp. Patient, funny, and genuinely great at teaching. We're signing up for next summer already."
