Private Lessons & Coaches in Stafford, TX

With a court sense honed over years of collegiate play, I bring 30 years of coaching experience to every lesson. I aim to share my passion for pickleball, guiding students toward their personal best, all while enjoying the game.

I began playing in middle school and continued through high school, where I also started coaching others. During my senior year, I paused playing to focus on my studies and secure admission to my desired university. After a five-year hiatus, I resumed playing last year, with my primary focus now on coaching.

"Very nice and sympathetic!

A lifelong love of tennis fuels my passion for coaching others. With 40 years of experience playing, including competing as an experienced player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and understanding to every lesson. I'm dedicated to fostering a fun, engaging environment where players of all levels can improve their game and develop a lasting appreciation for the sport.

"My son has been going to Coach G for almost a year, and we love his coaching style. He focuses on my son’s strength (being a unique left-handed player), Which is encouraging, But also adds in skilled building exercises and drills where he needs improvements. He is a coach that will tell you what you’re doing wrong. Coach Gee sees it from the moment you do it and push you directly on the path to getting it right. My son has had some real lightbulb moments with Coach G to improve basic control, backhand, and serving and momentum playing/improve match play. If you want to approve your Tennis and get more fit for recreational or to play competitively you won’t find a better value or better code coach than in Coach Garlund. Thank you for all you do.

Driven by a lifelong passion for racquet sports, I bring two years of coaching experience to pickleball. My background in tennis informs my dedication to skill development and strategic play. Let's elevate your game together with a fun, focused approach.

"Moises was very kind and patient, giving clear instructions that made practicing my serve easier . I think consistent practice will really help me improve further. Honestly, I appreciated his close attention to fixing errors, which I haven’t always experienced before. If you're looking to get better at pickleball without feeling rushed, I’d say try a lesson with him. I believe with a bit more focus on my serve, I’ll see good progress.

I picked up my first tennis racket at 13 and haven't looked back since. Nowadays, you'll find me competing in local USTA and flex leagues around Houston. I've learned a lot over the years and can't wait to share my tips and tricks with you. Let's hit the courts together!

"Perfect

Played Junior Davis Cup for Nigeria, multiple tournaments in the US. Been teaching for 9+ years - teaching any range of player. Looking forward to getting on the court with you to accelerate your goals!

"Great coach he makes tennis easy to learn

I’m a dedicated pickleball coach with a strong competitive background and a passion for helping players improve at every stage of their journey. With over 15 years of racket-sport experience, including competing at the 4.5 tennis level, winning District Champion, earning a regional table tennis champion title, and achieving multiple tournament victories, I bring a deep understanding of technique, footwork, and match strategy into my pickleball coaching. I coach all levels - from beginners building a strong foundation to intermediate and advanced players looking to refine form, correct mechanics, and prepare for competitive play. Whether your goal is better consistency, cleaner technique, smarter shot selection, or tournament readiness, each lesson is tailored to you.

"Great coach. He helped me tremendously on my serve. Very detailed with the instructions and patience.

I’ve spent over twenty years studying and teaching the true mechanics behind a powerful golf swing. My coaching goes far beyond “copy this angle” or “hold the club like that.” I help golfers understand where power comes from, how speed is created, how rhythm is controlled, and how to remain mentally steady under pressure. My approach blends psychology, physiology, and physical mechanics with the principles of Taichi and meditation. This fusion helps players move with clarity, relax unnecessary tension, and generate natural, efficient power. My writing on this philosophy has also been featured in Golf Digest. Every golfer is built differently—different height, body shape, flexibility, rotation speed—so every swing I teach is uniquely tailored. I focus on giving players the tools to self-adjust and self-improve, instead of relying on rigid, mechanical “positions” that only work when perfectly copied. If you want to truly understand your swing—not just imitate one—I can help you rebuild your game from the inside out. (I also hold certifications with US Kids Golf and the Positive Coaching Alliance.)

"Amazing coach

With 23 years of coaching under my belt, I've guided tennis enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels on their journey to mastery. From introducing the basics to eager four-year-old beginners to fine-tuning the techniques of advanced adult players, my passion for the sport has only deepened with time. Through dedication, patience, and a love for the game, I strive to empower each student to reach their fullest potential on the court, one swing at a time.

"We have taken tennis lessons from Coach E for more than two years. He has been an excellent coach, wonderful motivator, and I would recommend him to anyone who would like to learn the art of tennis.

My name is Roberto. I was born and raised in San José, Costa Rica, and I came to the United States nine years ago to play college tennis. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University (nation's top 10 NCAA Division II school) with a B.A. in Business Management and served as the team's captain on my last semester. I have also coached beginner and intermediate tennis players of all ages in Costa Rica as well as several collegiate dual matches. Regarding my playing history, I have played tournaments in over 10 countries, obtained a junior international ranking, and reached a ranking of #8 in Costa Rica. As of this year, I started coaching pickleball and the experience has been no different! Concepts are very similar and time to raise level is actually shorter!

"I appreciated Roberto’s patience and support. I felt encouraged through my lesson and gained some confidence by the end.
