About Eric

Eric is a former USTA 4.0+ tennis player who has transitioned into a passionate pickleball coach. With his strong tennis background, he brings a wealth of experience and a keen understanding of sports strategy to his pickleball teaching. Now fully dedicated to teaching pickleball, Eric is excited to help players of all levels improve their skills and enjoy the game.

What students say...

"The lesson with Eric was quite good, especially because he clearly explained everything from serving to paddle hold and how to keep the ball in play. I appreciated his patience and the way he broke down each step, making learning pretty straightforward. Though I still need to work on returning the ball without hitting it out and improving my backhand, I look forward to seeing how more lessons might help me refine these areas. Still, it’s a solid approach if you're aiming to up your game a bit.

About Lisa

I have been playing pickleball since early 2022 and received my PPR Associate Coach certification in June of 2023. Positive feedback from students reflect that I have a knack for easily explaining the rules of the game and can teach technique to beginners and intermediates in a fun and informative way. I have prior teaching experience in dance and gymnastics as a young adult. I have trained extensively at camps and clinics lead by numerous instructors and Pros, including Tyson McGuffin, Susannah Barr, Zac Taylor Lisa & Wayne Dollard, and Bobby Phoumy. Pickleball fondly reminds me of my younger days playing badminton and ping pong. I really enjoy sharing valuable information to inspire others to learn and find happiness in mastering this super fun sport for all ages. I have recently received an additional PPR certification, specializing in pickleball youth development geared for students age 6 through teens.

"What a lesson, that highlight really stuck with me, and I’m excited to learn more as I improve. The calm pace fits my style, and I’m eager for the next lesson with Lisa.

Where can I take pickleball lessons in Lakewood?

Pickleball lessons in Lakewood happen at 2 locations across the city, from Lakewood Tennis Center to lesser-known neighborhood spots. Bookings open up across weekdays, evenings, and weekend mornings β€” and if you have a preferred location, your coach meets you there.

How much do pickleball lessons cost in Lakewood?

What pickleball coaches in Lakewood, California can help you work on

Private pickleball lessons in Lakewood are built around your goals. Whatever you want to improve, a coach can focus each session on it. Here are the areas coaches in Lakewood work on most.

Dinking and the soft game

Win at the kitchen line with controlled dinks, resets, and patience. Lakewood coaches build the soft game that decides most pickleball points.

Serve and return depth

Start each point on the front foot with a deep serve and return. A coach in Lakewood works on consistency, depth, and placement off both shots.

Third-shot drop and strategy

Master the third-shot drop and the transition to the net. Pickleball coaches in Lakewood teach when to drop, when to drive, and how to take the line.

Volleys, putaways, and net play

Speed up the game, defend the body, and finish points at the net. Lakewood coaches sharpen your hands, reaction time, and shot selection up front.

Footwork, positioning, and doubles

Move as a team, cover the middle, and stay in the right spot on the court. Pickleball coaches in Lakewood drill footwork and doubles strategy.

Kids & youth pickleball lessons in Lakewood, California

Looking for youth pickleball coaching in Lakewood? We match kids and teens β€” from first-timers to high-school and club players β€” with coaches who specialize in junior development. Private youth pickleball lessons run at the same weekly rate as adult lessons.

Vetted, background-checked pickleball coaches

Every coach who works with kids goes through identity and background screening before being matched with young students, and their safety vetting is shown on their profile β€” so you can book with confidence.

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18

Coaches in Lakewood teach juniors from as young as 5 through high-school and competitive athletes, tailoring each session to your child's age, level, and goals β€” whether that is first-time fundamentals, building confidence, or tryout and team prep.

Parents welcome at every pickleball lesson

Parents are welcome to stay and watch β€” many do, especially with younger kids β€” but it is never required. Either way, your coach shares progress and what to practice between lessons.
