About Mark

As a seasoned 5.0-rated pickleball player, my journey is a testament to my love and dedication to the game. Aiming to transition from enthusiast to professional, I continually push my boundaries on the court. Beyond personal pursuits, my joy comes from sharing knowledge and expertise as a coach.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitor, I'm here to guide you in mastering basics, refining techniques, and developing advanced strategies. Coaching, for me, is not just about skills—it's about fostering a love for the game and creating a supportive community. Join me on the pickleball court, where camaraderie, encouragement, and skill enhancement go hand in hand!

About Skylar

Hi there! My name is Skylar and I’m thrilled to be your coach. I’ve been playing pickleball for about 2 years and have been a licensed PPR coach for about 6 months. Along with my doubles partner I’ve helped build the pickleball program at The Griffin Club in Culver City. From beginner to pro I love creating a relaxing environment where we can lock in the fundamentals and I can give you all the tools you need to succeed. I also help tennis players get into the game by pointing out the differences and adapting their strengths to fit the smaller court. Reach out! I’ll seeya on the court.

Building on a diverse sports background, I've transitioned from dedicating myself to tennis, ping-pong, and badminton to becoming a 4.5 rated Pickleball player. Now, I channel my joy and expertise into teaching the game, ready to share this exhilarating sport with you and your friends! With my broad background and dedication, I'm here to guide your journey! I recommend 90 minutes if you are doing one session only.

What students say...

"They told me on how to serve and how to take one step backward, forward, left or right, every time I served well. They also told me to serve on circling and hit with the right hand and using the left feet.

I’ve worked with kids and tweens quite a bit. The biggest factor I look out for is attitude. I believe in a firm yet encouraging approach, whether it’s young picklers or a more advanced one. Kids need to be encouraged and worked with their strengths more, and that is something I love doing!
