Sydney Steinaker is the founder of Bassline Sports, where pickleball meets house music. By day, she’s a certified pickleball coach. By night, she’s probably DJing or planning her next pickleball rave. Learning pickleball shouldn’t feel intimidating and you can expect cringey jokes, solid playlists, and a reminder that having fun is a strategy.
"I brought my whole family out for a pickleball day with Sydney, and it could not have been a better experience. She kept the kids engaged, made sure the adults were learning at our own pace, and somehow balanced fun with real instruction the entire time. By the end of the lesson, we were all laughing, rallying, and already planning our next family pickleball outing.
Ready to experience the exhilarating world of pickleball? I'm a seasoned player with 3 years of experience coaching beginners and intermediate players alike.

I’ve been playing pickleball for 6+ years with a strong tennis background, and what started as a fun hobby quickly became something I really care about. I play at a high level and love helping others to play stronger, move better, feel more confidant, and actually enjoy the game on a deeper level. To me, improving in pickleball is more than just skill, it’s freedom. The freedom to move, compete, express yourself, and have a whole lot of fun. My only goal is to help you get it
"Second lesson with Alex Lee and the progress is real. This time he focused on creating a relaxing foundation for how to hit powerful shots using my whole body. Instead of muscling the ball, he showed me how to let my hips, legs, arms and toes work together to generate power. He gave me clear cues that clicked right away. I could apply them in the next rally and actually receive praise from him on the spot, which helped me lock in the feeling. The greatest thing about this lesson was the shift from being a tense player chasing after every ball to being a relaxed player staying on my toes, moving toward the ball early and hitting a powerful shot that looks effortless. He would identify and mark the shots that looked effortless and have me pause to feel what my whole body was doing on good contact. Now I know exactly what that connected feeling is supposed to feel like. On top of that, the lesson showed me what flow state looks like when I am relaxed. Everything makes sense, you feel totally connected with your paddle and the ball, and the game just slows down.

Coach Shayan

I start by understanding the player’s 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 player’s needs—whether it’s footwork, shot precision, or strategy.

As a pickleball coach, I suggest my students bring the following items to their pickleball lessons: 1. Pickleball Paddle: Your own paddle, suited to your grip and playing style. 2. Comfortable Athletic Clothing: Wear clothes that allow easy movement and are appropriate for the weather. 3. Court Shoes: Non-marking, supportive shoes designed for court sports to ensure good traction and foot support. 4. Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the lesson, especially on hot days. 5. Sun Protection: If playing outdoors, bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect against sun exposure. 6. Towel: Useful for wiping sweat and keeping your hands dry. 7. Personal First Aid Kit: Including items like plasters, sports tape, and any personal medication. 8. Personal Pickleballs: While not essential, having your own balls can be helpful for extra practice. 9. Notebook and Pen: For taking notes on techniques, strategies, or feedback from the coach. 10. Snacks: Especially for longer sessions, bring energy-boosting snacks like fruit or energy bars. 11. Change of Clothes: For after the session, in case you need to change out of sweaty clothes. 12. Personal Identification and Emergency Contact Information: In case of an emergency. 13. Positive Attitude and Willingness to Learn: Most important for a productive and enjoyable learning experience. By bringing these items, students can ensure they are well-prepared for their pickleball lessons.
