Professional pickleball player and coach with experience competing and medaling in tournaments across the U.S. and Asia. Passionate about helping players of all levels build solid fundamentals, improve match strategy, and gain confidence on the court.
Fueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.
"Bill is the best pickleball coach Iâve ever had. In addition to his technical instruction, he provides valuable tactical guidance thanks to his own experience as an active professional player. Whatâs even more remarkable is the emotional support he offersâas both my coach and my 10-year-old sonâs coach, he has helped my child learn how to manage emotions on the court.
What started as a love for the game quickly turned into something more â a passion for teaching it. Iâm a certified pickleball instructor who has competed and thrived at the highest competitive levels, earning 5.0 tournament victories and stepping onto the court against top-25 PPA professionals. That experience playing against the best in the game isnât just a cool story, I have felt the pace, the strategy, and the pressure of elite-level pickleball firsthand, and brings all of that to every lesson and clinic. Whether youâre just picking up a paddle for the first time or grinding to break into the 4.0+ ranks, I meet you exactly where you are. The goal is simple: help you have more fun, win more points, and fall in love with this game the same way it happened for me. Letâs rally. Book a session today.
I started coaching officially in February 2025 for a small group, consistently weekly. I love helping students and athletes learning the game to improve, have fun, and gain fitness with pickleball. Previously, I had been a trainer for various sports and activities such as soccer, basketball, weightlifting, and martial arts.
"Joe is an exceptional coach. He pays attention to your forms, and gives helpful advice and practices based on what he observes. He is strategic but also very patient. That contributes a lot to my pickle ball skills.
Howdy! I am a previously 4.5 tennis player that converted to pickle ball 2 years ago. I know play tournaments and am currently a 4.752 DUPR. Iâve won a couple 5.0 Singles tournaments as well as 5.0 tournaments. If you want to play at the +4.5 level, I can get you there! I am local to Orange County.
I bring a thoughtful, energetic approach to pickleball coaching, combining technical refinement, tactical strategy, and clear communication to accelerate player progress. I have been teaching pickleball for several years and take pride in developing skill, confidence, and a love of the game.
"I have improved my technique and game sense with a few lessons with Coach Duc. He is clear in instructing and makes things easy to understand!
New to this platform! Iâve been playing tennis my whole life, and started playing pickleball in 2019. Also working as a Surf and Soccer instructor, Iâve got experience and am passionate about teaching others. As a 4.5+ tournament champion, I bring years of patience and experience to my lessons, focusing on development on areas that need improvement, while keeping things fun, lighthearted and informative.
"I took a few lessons with Tomas, and I highly recommend him for his ability to answer questions and direct you in the right direction when it comes to playing your best pickleball. He knows every shot in the book, works with all levels and ages, and makes lessons fun and enjoyable every time.
Fueling court confidence is my specialty. For two years, I've helped players elevate their pickleball game. I bring passion, tailored strategies, and my experience as a dedicated player to every lesson.
Beginner and intermediate players often struggle with unforced errors, but I'm here to change that! My coaching focuses on preparing you both mentally and physically, using proven techniques to minimize those frustrating mistakes. I design dynamic drills that emphasize technique and focus, ensuring you build a strong foundation for success. In fact, most of my students are rallying over 200 shots after just two sessions! Let's work together to elevate your game and build your confidence on the court.
"On time, professional, knows the sport well and makes it fun. thanks Raam

I start by understanding the playerâs current level, strengths, goals, and pain points. We run through some live hitting, serve/return, third shot drops, dinks, and transition play to assess movement and shot selection. From there, I tailor a game plan specific to the playerâs needsâwhether itâs footwork, shot precision, or strategy.
