This program is built for players who already have a solid grasp of the game and want to go deeper. Not just collect new shots, but genuinely understand what's happening on the court and why. If you're playing consistently, thinking about the game, and frustrated that improvement has started to feel harder to find, that's exactly who this is for.

This course is not meant for people who aren't ready to put in the serious work that significant improvement requires. You can spend as much, or as little time engaging with the materials as you'd like, but it's recommended that you're willing to spend 5-10 hours per week really focused on getting better at pickleball. But, you probably already spend that much time on your pickleball! Now, you will just be doing it with focus, intention, and guidance from one of the best players in the world.

We are all busy. That's why every single call in the Academy will be recorded and uploaded so you can view it when it works for you. It's recommended you join the Thursday calls live as much as possible for enrichment and group discussion about the focus of the week, but the materials will always be there for you when you need them.

Yes, direct feedback and homework are a cornerstone of the Academy. Every single week of the program you will complete an in-depth homework assignment that will include you uploading footage for review from Brighter Pickleball coaches. Their feedback will help you make both the technical and tactical improvement that will help your game improve exponentially.

Session sizes may vary, but we keep the experience personal. Students are divided into groups of 75-100 people, each with dedicated coaches to provide support, answer questions, and help you get the most out of the Academy.

After the program concludes, you will see, think, and understand pickleball completely differently, and you will officially be a graduate of the Brighter Pickleball Academy and a Brighter Baddie for life! We know that the 8 weeks will be intense and information overload, so all materials will remain available for 30 days. The best part about the Academy is that it doesn't just make you better, it teaches you how to get better, so you will have the tools to continue improving after the course is complete.

You're not just paying for eight weeks of pickleball instruction. You're investing in how you learn to play the game.

For comparison, two private lessons per week at $150 per lesson for eight weeks would cost $2,400—the same investment as the Academy.

But here's the difference: you're not getting two lessons a week with a random coach.

You're learning directly from Anna Bright and other top-level pros, while working through a structured framework designed to develop the way you see, understand, and make decisions on the court.

You get coaching, instruction, strategy, feedback, and a community of players who are all working toward the same goal.

And perhaps most importantly, you're not simply learning more shots. You're learning how to recognize what is happening in a game, anticipate what comes next, and make better decisions under pressure.

The goal isn't to give you more information. It's to change the way you play.
