"I was a complete beginner when I first met Elijah 3 months ago. Very quickly he was able to assist me with getting the right equipment and oriented me with ease. Coach Elijah breaks down all the components of the game and is patient yet firm in his approach. He also has great supplemental equipment to fast-track training ground strokes, footwork, etc. He helped me develop a one-handed backhand that actually has “fire power” and I feel much more confident going to the tennis court.

I’ve been boxing since I was 16 and competed in multiple tournaments . I was always active and used boxing as a competitive measurement as also as preparation to go professional. Circumstances changed that and I decided to direct my passion into training which I’ve done for 6+ years introducing training and technological equipment to enhance performance and skill.
"Great instructor! Can’t wait for the upcoming lessons.

Hi! I’m Simon, a passionate pickleball player with a love for helping people of all ages and skill levels get into this fast-growing, fun, and social sport. I started playing pickleball a year and quickly fell in love with the game’s mix of strategy, movement, and community. Whether you’re a total beginner looking to learn the basics, or someone with experience hoping to sharpen your skills, I focus on building strong fundamentals in a relaxed, encouraging environment. My lessons emphasize proper technique, court positioning, strategy, and—most importantly—making the game fun and accessible.
"The lesson was quite helpful and quite enjoyable, honestly. Simon has a calm way of explaining things, and I appreciated how he focused on specific skills like keeping control on the ball. Still, I think I need a bit more work on my footwork, but I’m looking forward to the next lesson to build on what I learned.

Hello, I'm Phil. I'm straightforward and unafraid to be real. In pickleball, that means helping you shore up weaknesses and improve technically and strategically as easily and clearly as possible. I believe it's important to know "what" and "how", but also "why". My ideal is environment is one where we can learn something impactful and figure out how to implement it, all without unnecessary pressure. Before pickleball, I played 25 years of tennis and competed on a world class level in a variety of games. Let's get on the court!
"Honestly, I was pretty surprised by how much I picked up in just an hour. The instructor really knows his stuff. He taught me things I hadn’t considered before that I think will make a difference. Maybe more practice on those points would help, time went by so fast! Phil’s approach is quite helpful if you’re serious about improving your pickleball game. Phil is very knowledgeable and can make you improve your game, not only by how you hit the ball but how you position yourself and things you can tactically do to help you win the points. Recommend 10/10.
