I'm a passionate pickleball player and coach with a 4.0 skill level and over four years of experience playing locally. My love for racket sports started with tennis, where I found success in high school, winning at the district level. This sparked my interest in pickleball, and now I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you! My coaching covers everything from the fundamentals to advanced skills and drills, including mastering those tricky shots like smashes, lobs, and volleys. We'll also focus on strategy and footwork, so you can dominate the court. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your game, I'm dedicated to providing engaging and effective instruction to help you achieve your pickleball goals.

Had a great lesson! Jawad was able to see where my problems were and help me correct them. He was very patient and explained everything very well. I left the lesson feeling much improved. Will definitely be back for more lessons.

Learning pickleball with Jawad has been an awesome experience. He really knows how to explain the game in a simple, fun way, and he helped me improve my serve and drives a lot. I always felt supported and motivated. Highly recommend!

Jawad helped me level up my game big time! My serves are way more consistent now, and I’ve learned how to hit powerful, controlled drives. He breaks things down in a way that actually sticks and gives great feedback.
