Let's build your game, one step at a time.

Youth players

Working with kidsFor Kids (Ages 7–12): Learn Through Play & Pattern With kids, it's all about fun, movement, and confidence-building. Just like young martial artists learn kata to master movement and focus, young pickleball players benefit from structured routines that feel like games—but build real skills. 🌀 How I Work with Kids: Engaging, game-based drills that teach footwork, paddle control, and court awareness Focus on hand-eye coordination, soft dinks, and basic serving Use of mini-katas—simple, repeatable sequences like “serve, return, move to kitchen” Emphasis on sportsmanship, team play, and joy of movement Sessions feel like play, but they’re packed with skill-building moments Goal: Help kids feel successful early, stay active, and fall in love with the rhythm of the game.

Working with teenagers🧑🏾‍🦱👱🏻‍♀️ For Teenagers (Ages 13–17): Train with Intention, Grow with Confidence For teens, we shift gears. They’re ready for more challenge and structure, but they still need energy, connection, and a space where effort is recognized and celebrated. 🧩 How I Work with Teens: Structured training sessions based on advanced beginner to intermediate development plans Drills that mirror kata concepts: practicing dinks, serves, drops, and resets in set patterns to build form and decision-making Introducing strategy—court positioning, communication in doubles, when to attack or reset Encouraging growth mindset: “Don’t worry about perfection. Let’s focus on progress.” Optional: Match play and scrimmages to test skills in real-time scenarios Goal: Build disciplined, confident players who understand not just how to play—but why smart choices win games.
