About Alan

Greetings! With an extensive tennis background from my younger days, I seamlessly transitioned to the world of pickleball, playing passionately 4-5 times a week and achieving a level around 5.0. I've been coaching pickleball even before it rose to its current popularity, backed by my PPR certification. Our sessions will delve deep: from understanding your background to analyzing your swings, from mastering the basic rules to perfecting that volley back and forth. Together, we'll ensure your grip is spot-on, and in the process, uncover and refine your unique play style.

What students say...

"New-ish player with no previous racket sports experience. We took it back to the basics to get rid of bad habits I’ve picked up and now develop a proper foundation to build on.

About Timothy

I’m known for my patience and intuition, which helps me tailor lessons precisely to your needs and goals. With experience as a medalist in multiple tournaments, including competing at the 2018 Nationals and earning a silver medal at the 2019 Ruidoso 4.5, I bring a proven track record of success to my teaching. My approach focuses on adapting to each individual’s style to ensure the best possible outcome. I also now have a ball machine. This helps maximize our lessons and helps you as the student to develop “muscle memory” of the various strokes in pickleball. I highly recommend to any student to allow me to teach at the EŌS on 75 th ave and Encanto. Advantages: Price $0 additional fees Easy to reserve with 24 hours notice Professional court indoor and private Take advantage of gym and pool facilities after if you like!

What students say...

"Tim is knowledgeable and patient. He does a great job at tailoring his instructions to the lesson recipient! After just one lesson, I say a huge improvement in my serving technique - I was previously only in 20% of the time and am now up to 80%!

Hello I grew up in Michigan playing tennis most of my life. I’m 22 years old and about a year ago I discovered pickleball. I really enjoy the sport and end up playing about 6 days a week. I figured why not make some money if I love this sport.

About Grant

I've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won. My playing philosophy centers around strong defense, consistency, and capitalizing on your opponents’ mistakes. I’m also a big advocate of recording your own games. Watching your play back is one of the fastest ways to identify patterns, correct mistakes, and make meaningful progress. If you’re ready to build a smarter, more consistent game, I’d love to work with you.

What students say...

"I used to be way too slow coming to the net, nervous in the transition zone. After learning when to attack and practicing reset drills, I’m now much more comfortable and confident moving up.

First I will ask you about your strengths and weaknesses and if there’s something in particular that you want to work on. Normally I start almost every lesson with a few points of skinny singles to identify any strengths and weaknesses and what we should work on. From there I will give you a few tips and then run some drills to work on them. Throughout the lesson I will continue to give you tips as I identify ideas to help with your game, and we may adjust the drills but still mainly focusing on one particular skill.
