I’ve been playing pickleball for almost a year now, and as a right-handed player, I’ve quickly fallen in love with the game. I enjoy encouraging my friends and sharing what I've learned to help them improve their skills. Teaching others the nuances of pickleball not only enhances their game but also deepens my own understanding and enjoyment of the sport. It’s great to see everyone having fun while getting better together!

"I highly recommend Omar, he’s a great teacher and fun to learn from.

I am a high-level 4.4-rated pickleball player with strong skills in both doubles and singles. My background as a college lacrosse athlete and coach has given me a solid foundation in teaching and strategy, which I now bring to the pickleball court. I am excited to help beginners and intermediate players improve their game. I’ve already been teaching through referrals and requests from friends, and I look forward to helping more players develop their skills and love for pickleball!

"I really appreciated how Kyle provided focused lessons with targeted feedback that helped me improve quickly. The session was well-structured and kept me engaged throughout. If you want a clear and productive way to boost your pickleball skills, Kyle’s lessons are definitely worth trying.

The focus on specific mechanics really helped me understand my game better, though I still see room for refinement. I appreciated the calm, clear manner in which he explained things, making the learning process feel natural. Hopefully, with more lessons, I can build on what we covered.

Hi, my name is Stephen. I’m a 5.0 singles and doubles Pickleball player. I’m a competitive tournament player that plans to start playing the pro circuit soon, but also have a passion for coaching and helping others. My coaching style is a combination of encouraging, fun, while also trying to get the best out of my students. Before pickleball I was a 2-sport collegiate athlete, and have coached numerous athletes. Furthermore, as a competitive player myself, I am constantly studying, learning, and seeking to improve as a player and a coach. I am continuously learning, and stay up to date with the latest strategies, techniques, and developments in the game. Pickleball is constantly evolving, and is about situational awareness and adaptability. I aim to help my students apply these concepts as well.

"We had the best time with Stephen and learned fun new moves!
