Best 6 coaches for lessons near Ellisville, MO
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
As a former USPTA teaching professional, I bring proven coaching performance to the fast changing world of pickleball. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to add a 3rd shot DRIP or backhand flick to your arsenal, I’ll guide your improvement every step of the way. I specialize in meeting each player exactly where they are, and improve or build solid fundamentals through unique stroke mechanic check points. The session pace is always comfortable, encouraging, and challenging. As a senior player, I understand the unique considerations that come with starting or improving later in life, though I genuinely enjoy working with players of every age and skill level. When you book with me, you can count on plenty of balls, paddles (if needed), and a reserved space where we can focus entirely on your improvement without distractions. During the cold months (November through March) I teach at Missouri Pickleball Club in Fenton, or Missouri Pickleball Club—Ellisville. I enjoy group lessons, so book with one, two, or three friends and lower the price per student cost. I will teach at other locations if a court can be reserved and the student handles making the reservation.

Mike’s love for the sport quickly grew, and at 15, he started helping out with the children’s tennis clinics, later becoming a full time pro when he was 21. Working his way through college by giving lessons, Mike also played on the UMSL tennis team where he was awarded Freshman of the Year at GLVC Conference and was a two time first team All Conference winner. Earning a degree in Exercise Science has helped him expand his knowledge in the field of sports kinesiology to help his clients with lessons in improving their game while maintaining their frame!

With over 30 years of competitive golf experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level. I began competing at age 10 and went on to qualify for the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Championship in both my junior and senior years. I then played NCAA Division II college golf in the highly competitive Gulf South Conference for the University of West Florida. Throughout my career, I’ve competed in numerous U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers, and spent two years as a fully sponsored Callaway Golf professional on the RE/MAX World Long Drive Tour, winning both regional and super regional events with drives of 396 and 406 yards respectively. My teaching specialties include gaining distance and accuracy off the tee, mastering the short game, and building a confident, resilient mental approach to handle the challenges of tournament play or casual weekend rounds. I’ve coached golfers of all ages and skill levels, from aspiring junior athletes to seasoned weekend warriors. I’ve passed the rigorous PGA Playing Ability Test (PAT) at Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Tallahassee, FL as part of the PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program, which evaluates both playing and coaching ability. Whether your goal is to sharpen your competitive edge or finally win your Saturday foursome, I provide a fun, laid-back learning atmosphere designed to help you elevate every part of your game. My instruction can take place at one of the provided courses/ranges/practice greens listed on this site or I’m more than happy to travel to your home club in which we can really dig into course management, yardage book creation or USGA etiquette and rules expertise while playing 9 holes. You’re choice of venue and convenience is my #1 goal while lowering your leisurely score, decreasing your official USGA handicap index, making that grade school varsity team or just learning how to absolutely crush it off the tee, I would be thrilled to meet you where you are and accomplish/blow away your individual golf expectations and or goals!
"“At 70 years old and stuck with a 25 handicap for what felt like forever, I figured my best golf was behind me. Then I met Justin. After just a few lessons in Fort Walton Beach, he completely transformed my game. I had a nasty slice from a lifetime of swinging inside-out, but Justin simplified everything from my setup, foot alignment, grip, and swing plane. He didn’t overload me with swing thoughts; he gave me real, practical adjustments that worked. After 4–5 short sessions, I broke 80 for the first time in my life. I was so excited I called him on a Saturday just to share the news. I’ve referred all my buddies to him, and I’d do it again without hesitation. He’s the real deal, part coach, part magician!” - Ron R. Fort Walton Beach, FL
