Best 10 coaches for lessons near High Ridge, 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.

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.

"“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
