Learn Pickleball with Derek

⭑5.0 (46)
💰$56 weekly lessons

I'm a native Floridian who traded golf clubs and tennis rackets for the exhilarating world of pickleball in 2020. Since then, I've become a certified instructor with Pickleball Coaching International and shared my passion through over 100 clinics and private lessons. My teaching philosophy is simple – tailor the learning experience to each individual, focusing on fundamentals, drills, and tactical insights. I take pride in helping my students achieve their specific goals efficiently and effectively. Recently, I've ventured into the virtual realm as a VR Pickleball Coaching Consultant and contributed online coaching articles for an industry leading pickleball company. I am an ambassador for several pickleball companies and have several varieties of paddles for my students to demo during our time together. Let's embark on a pickleball journey together, where learning meets fun, and victories follow every well-played point!
