Private Pickleball Lessons & Coaches in Fort Carson, CO

I’m a certified Pickleball coach with a 4.5 DUPR rating and a passion for helping people fall in love with the game. I’ve had the opportunity to play Pickleball in five different countries and regions, including Iceland, Egypt, Italy, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Australia, England, and Hawaii, experiencing the game across many cultures and playing styles. My focus is on teaching beginners and newer players—young athletes, adults, and seniors—who want to learn the game the right way from the start. I specialize in building strong fundamentals, court awareness, confidence at the kitchen line, and smart point strategy without overwhelming players. I work best with students who can practice 1–3 times per week for 4–6 weeks, a schedule that consistently leads to real improvement and game proficiency. My coaching style is patient, encouraging, and structured, helping players progress quickly while still having fun. Whether you’re brand new to Pickleball or looking to feel confident stepping onto the court, my goal is simple: make the game approachable, enjoyable, and something you’ll want to keep playing for life.
