Private Lessons & Coaches in Uniondale, NY

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.

"Oh, the lesson was a pretty good intro to golf, honestly. I appreciated learning how to grip and swing properly, and it’s definitely a solid foundation. Though I need to practice more swings and hit more balls to solidify those new habits, I feel like this was a helpful starting point. Aron’s approach made things clear without overloading me, and I’m still hopeful about applying what I learned moving forward. If you’re looking for a straightforward introduction with someone who keeps it real, you might want to give Aron a shot.

Hi, I'm Anthony! I have been playing tennis for over 20 years and coaching for nearly 8 years. I most recently worked as a pro at UPenn Racquet Club before moving back to NJ. Alongside being a USPTR certified tennis coach, I'm also deeply involved in the arts as an actor, filmmaker, and singer. Tennis coaching is my passion, but when I'm not on the court, you'll likely find me immersed in the world of cinema. I'm particularly proud of my film "ETHEREAL," which has played at various film festivals. Balancing my love for both sports and the arts is what makes my life truly vibrant and fulfilling.
