Transitioning from a lifelong tennis journey, I've spent the last two years deeply immersed in the world of pickleball, and now, as a 4.5 player, coaching is my primary passion. My own start in pickleball came from lessons with a skilled local instructor, and I've since played in various tournaments. This hands-on experience shaped my down-to-earth coaching methodology. When you train with me, we'll begin at the foundation, just as I did: starting short, with underhand strokes, and progressively moving back. I'll guide you through essential serves, introducing you to specific serve techniques. Each session will kick off by understanding and evaluating your existing skills, after which we'll journey deeper into technical expertise. My goal is to craft lessons tailored to your needs and ensure that, through my coaching, your love and proficiency in pickleball grows exponentially.
"Holly is very concise and makes even work outs fun. We have a great time and hope to play with a group soon.
I’m a 5.0 DUPR player with tournament wins across the country at the 4.5–5.0+ level and a passion for helping players improve. I won my first tournament at the 3.5 level and taught myself how to improve into higher divisions! Whether you’re new to pickleball or looking to sharpen strategy, shot selection, consistency, and court positioning, I tailor each lesson to your goals. My coaching is positive and focused on building confidence while making the game fun. I will teach anywhere in 30 miles!

"Tim has been coaching my son for a few weeks now and hes finally starting to enjoy pickleball more. Before it was hard to force him off his electronics and cone play but now he is excited to leave and "Teach others who is boss". It's nice to see him become motivated and some of the drills i didnt think he would be able to do picked up and truly impressed me. The patience and persistence really made it fun to watch as my son's confidence grew before my very eyes

I start by conducting a thorough skills assessment through warm-up rallies and targeted drills to identify strengths (like consistent dinking or powerful drives) and areas for improvement (such as footwork efficiency or shot variety). We discuss their goals, such as tournament preparation or mastering spin, and review key rules nuances like stacking in doubles. Hands-on, we refine grips for advanced shots, practice controlled volleys, and introduce strategy concepts like third-shot drops under pressure. The session ends with a simulated game point to apply insights, plus personalized homework like video self-analysis.

Students should come prepared with essentials for a safe and enjoyable session. At minimum, wear comfortable athletic clothing (breathable shirts, shorts or pants that allow movement), non-marking court shoes with good lateral support to prevent slips on the hard surface, and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated—pickleball can get intense! Sunglasses or a hat are recommended for outdoor play, along with personal sunscreen. If you already own a pickleball paddle and balls, bring them to get personalized feedback, but it’s not required initially since I’ll provide extras. Optionally, a towel, snacks for energy, and any personal protective gear like knee braces if needed. Focus on comfort to maximize learning!

Having extra patience lol I’ll train them just like how I do with adults but with extra grace!

When working with kids, I adapt lessons to be fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. I use shorter, game-like drills (e.g., target hitting with colorful cones or relay races with paddles) to keep their attention, focusing on basic skills like grip and forehand swings. Sessions are kept to 45-60 minutes, with frequent breaks, and I incorporate storytelling (e.g., “become a pickleball superhero!”) to teach rules and strategy. I use smaller courts or adjusted net heights if needed, and provide lightweight paddles and kid-sized balls for easier handling. Positive reinforcement and group activities foster teamwork and confidence.
