Join me for a pickleball experience where strategic insights meet community building, creating a dynamic and enriching environment on the court. Let's elevate your pickleball journey together!
"I’d say the lesson with Mayra was quite helpful. She explained the fundamental rules pretty clearly and offered good feedback on my serve, though I still need to work on my positioning. Still, I appreciated her focus on basic strategies, which made me more confident about playing with others. If you're looking to get started or brush up on the fundamentals, you might want to give Mayra a try.
I'm David, and after 30 years of playing 4.5 tennis, I discovered my passion for Pickleball and haven't looked back since. Now, I'm excited to share my expertise as a Certified PPR Coach and help beginners up to 4.0+ DUPR players improve their skills and understanding of this dynamic sport. Despite initial hesitation, I've come to love Pickleball even more than tennis and am eager to guide others in enjoying this game as much as I do. Let's work together and elevate your Pickleball game!
"The lesson with David was quite helpful, especially with his focus on specific techniques that I hadn’t fully grasped before. Though I still have some areas to refine, I left feeling more confident in my paddle control and positioning, which was pretty good. I’d consider signing up for another lesson to keep improving. But, we still have 4 more lessons, I think.
With a lifelong passion for racquet and paddle sports, I've dedicated six years to playing, competing, and teaching pickleball. My journey in racquet sports began with junior and collegiate tennis, and later, I transitioned to racquetball, achieving remarkable success with 14 national titles in singles and doubles, a world doubles title as part of Team USA, and a world ranking of #3 on the pro tour. Pickleball has been a natural extension of my racquet sports expertise, and in every tournament I've entered, I've emerged victorious or landed in the top three. My love for these games drives me to teach and share my knowledge, making me a dedicated and accomplished pickleball player and instructor. Please note: I am available other days and times not shown in my availability. If you have a special scheduling request, please contact me through app support with 2-3 time/day options to have best chance 1 will work for me too. Thank you.
"We practice Pickleball 101.
Are you ready to learn how to play pickleball? Take your pickleball game to the next level? Host an epic pickleball corporate party or team-building event? Look no further, as I am here to guide you through an exhilarating journey on the court. With an impressive record of 13 tournament victories under my belt in events up to the 5.0 level, I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to join my highly sought-after pickleball corporate events, clinics, and private lessons! Pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country, has captivated players of all ages and skill levels. As a certified instructor and tournament player, I have experienced the thrill of competition firsthand and developed a profound understanding of the game's intricacies. With my proven expertise and strategic insight, I am eager to help you unlock your full potential and elevate your pickleball skills to new heights! Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 2 months after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament. Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now forever
"Our corporate team had an incredible experience with Pickleball Playmakers this evening! From start to finish, everything went flawlessly. Dan’s ability to engage the entire group, regardless of our skill level or experience, was truly impressive. He made the booking process a breeze and was exceptionally accommodating to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better event, and we’re already looking forward to working with them again in the future!
With nearly five years of pickleball instruction and podium finishes at the 5.0+ level, I help athletes of all levels with skill development and strategic thinking. I’m open for one-on-one and group sessions. I can often find you a compatible lesson partner when schedules mesh. I have 25 years of fitness coaching experience with an expertise in injury reduction. I train and work with pickleball athletes on and off court. Pickleball is a footwork sport and I love teaching players the important details — whether it be technique or strategies for on court success. Your goals are my goals — I work to help you shine and be a force on court!
"I practiced serving and hitting the ball.
With a spirited approach to pickleball, I bring 2 years of coaching experience to the court. I aim to help players elevate their game, inspired by my background as a college coach. Expect personalized guidance and a dash of strategic fun.

"The lesson was quite good, especially getting a chance to work on my serve and game play. Though I’d like to see more of the same focus, it felt quite practical and helpful overall. Paul’s approach feels measured and straightforward, which is just right for where I’m at. If you’re looking to improve specific aspects like serving or gameplay, I’d say give him a try.

Promptly after booking with me, you'll receive my welcome message and question: "Looking forward to your lesson. When you have a chance please let me know, in 2-3 sentences, about your pickleball, racquet sports, and/or other sports experience, and what you hope to learn/improve in your lesson(s)." Student responses help me to get right into and make the most of our time during their lesson. Then, based on my ongoing assessment during the lesson, I will customize the lessons to the student's level and learning style. My teaching style utilizes evidenced based skill acquisition approaches so students learn and retain task/goal oriented pickleball skills more naturally. Every shot in pickleball can be accomplished using a variety of techniques and no technique is "the right correct way." I can teach you the slice, top, push and lift dink, the overhead extreme angle put away, drive and drop and roll and flick volleys. How about the slice, top or lob serve. And, I can teach you how to hit deceptive shots too. I'm considered a power player with excellent finesse paddle skills. I can play right and left handed, hit dinks and half volleys between my legs and behind my back. If you want to pursue mastering pickleball and playing top level, even professional level, I'll get you to the highest level you aspire to the fastest!
With 3 active coaches and 85 lessons taught, this north Austin location (9000 Middlebie Dr) is a hub for players looking for consistent instruction and community.
This south Austin park on Beckett Rd supports 4 coaches and has hosted 63 lessons, making it a solid option if you're in that part of the city.
Fall through spring (October-April) is ideal for outdoor pickleball lessons in Austin, but if summer heat forces you indoors, ask your coach about air-conditioned private court options around town.

Lessons for kids are designed using a constraint-led approach and are conducted based on age of students. Age 8-under will incorporate more appropriate methods for their motor skill level, whereas 9 and older can incorporate more advanced skill learning.
Coach Jack

I go much slower with younger children, as I’m cautious of how this could be someone’s first sport ever or well on their way to becoming a prodigy… either way, it’s an important experience and I take it seriously!
