Hi, I’m Saraa! I’ve been hooked on pickleball since 2021, and I play competitively at the 4.0–4.5 level (soon to be 4.5–5.0!). My true passion, though, is coaching adult beginners and helping people fall in love with this amazing sport. My coaching style is all about keeping things fun while building real skills and strategy. I believe in learning by playing, cheering each other on, and letting passion lead the way. Whether your goal is to keep up with friends, join a league, or just enjoy a new hobby, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there. One of my favorite things about pickleball is how welcoming it is—anyone can jump in and play, no matter their athletic background. Yet at the same time, there’s always room to improve and challenge yourself. Plus, the community is second to none—you’ll leave the court with new friends and a big smile. My go-to shot is the two-handed backhand drive (the “twoie”), and right now I’m working on nailing my backhand roll. Fun fact: I grew up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—home of Selkirk Sport—so I’ll always be a Selkirk girl at heart!
"Getting more comfortable with the volley and serve, I think Saraa's lesson really helped fine-tune those parts of my game, and I'm hopeful about perfecting my skills further.

"I'm quite satisfied with the lesson from Chuck. The focus on specific swing techniques was quite helpful, and I left feeling more confident overall. Still, I think I need to practice those details a bit more to really lock them in. Though, I’m optimistic about applying what I learned and improving my game further. Really, Chuck's approach is straightforward and practical. I’d suggest giving him a try if you're looking to refine your swing.
