At Taylored Pickleball Academy, we believe a pickleball vacation should leave you with more than just great photos and sore legs from walking Croatian cobblestone streets. It should leave you playing better pickleball.

​

That’s why our vacations are intentionally designed around purposeful training, smart player grouping, and meaningful on-court development — all while experiencing some of the most breathtaking destinations in the world.

​

Our Croatian Cruise is not simply a week of open play in a beautiful location. It’s a thoughtfully curated pickleball experience that blends high-quality instruction, structured training, coached gameplay, strategy development, and competitive play opportunities in a way that feels energizing, engaging, and incredibly fun.

​

Whether you’re looking to build consistency and confidence or refine advanced tactics and decision-making, our coaching team meets you where you are and helps move your game forward with purpose.

​

Skill-Based Grouping for the Best Experience Possible

To ensure every player has the best possible experience on court, participants are grouped by skill level:

​

• Advanced Beginner / Early Intermediate

• Intermediate / Early Advanced

• Advanced Plus (verification required through DUPR or club rating)

​​

From Beginner to Advanced, you can review our TPA Skill Level & DUPR Guide before booking to help determine the best fit for you.

​

This intentional grouping allows our coaching team to deliver truly level-specific instruction and play — because development happens best when players are challenged appropriately, supported properly, and surrounded by others at a similar stage in their game.

​

Exceptional Coaching in Incredible Places

Our TPA coaching team is made up of passionate, experienced, TPA- and NCCP-certified instructors who know how to balance elite-level insight with an approachable, encouraging, and fun atmosphere.

​

With a low 1:8 instructor-to-player ratio, you’ll receive personalized feedback, meaningful coaching, and practical takeaways you can immediately apply to your game. Expect smart strategy sessions, purposeful drills, coached gameplay, competitive play opportunities, and plenty of those “ah-ha” moments that suddenly make the game feel easier.

​

Leading the vision behind every TPA Vacation is Cameron Taylor, whose passion for player development and elevated travel experiences shapes every detail — on and off the court.

​

And while we take your improvement seriously, we also know this is your vacation. Expect laughter, connection, unforgettable experiences, and a coaching team that genuinely loves being part of the journey with you.

​

Train in Croatia. Play with Purpose.

One of the things that makes this Croatian Cruise so unique is our partnership with local Croatian pickleball clubs, like Pickleball Club 002 in Split, allowing us to maximize meaningful court time while still fully embracing the adventure of island hopping along the Adriatic.

​

You’ll train and play in incredible settings, then step off court and into ancient coastal towns, waterfront cafés, crystal-clear waters, and sunsets that don’t look real.

​

This is pickleball, elevated — purposeful training, incredible travel, meaningful connection, and unforgettable experiences, all brought together the TPA way.
