"Great lesson with David. Enjoy the drills he provides to practice in between lessons. Always accommodating and willing to teach at various locations.

From an experienced school teacher to a 4.5 rated Pickleball instructor, I've transitioned my dedication for teaching into a new athletic arena. With over 3 decades of tennis playing and coaching under my belt, including a two-year stint at Mesa College, I bring a rich and diverse experience to my coaching. My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5. Currently, I am currently a Pro-Certified instructor with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) to further strengthen my Pickleball coaching credentials. Despite my newfound passion for Pickleball, I still teach tennis, integrating the best of both sports into my training approach. Together, let's work on boosting your skills and raising your game!

"We worked on many things and all positive

I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions years ago until interrupted by the Covid pandemic. We were able to start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base. For the last few years, I have continued with private training sessions at local recreation areas, parks and at résidences.

"Really enjoyed my lesson! It was upbeat and the tips were incredibly helpful. Vince is very friendly and gives clear guidance on how to improve.

For the past 3 1/2 years, I've been fully immersed in Pickleball, dedicating myself to the sport with unwavering passion and enthusiasm. Playing consistently 5 to 6 days a week, and sometimes squeezing in two sessions a day, Pickleball has evolved from a mere pastime into a lifestyle for me. Beyond the physical activity, the camaraderie, the new friendships forged, and the thrill of competition truly make it special. Pickleball isn't just a game; it's a mental challenge that keeps me engaged and constantly striving for improvement. The strategic thinking it demands adds an exciting dimension to each match, offering endless opportunities for growth and mastery. But what truly sets Pickleball apart is the sense of community it fosters. I've formed countless friendships through this sport and enjoy introducing others to its joys. As an advocate for Pickleball, I'm passionate about sharing its wonders with people of all ages. From young enthusiasts to seasoned seniors, Pickleball offers something for everyone. It's more than just a game; it's a lifelong journey of fun, fitness, and friendship, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

"Kayden is an incredible pickleball coach. He has a very calm, grounded demeanor that immediately made me feel comfortable. He explains things in a way that matched my learning style, which helped everything finally “click.” He was extremely patient, thorough, and we covered so much in just one session.
