About your pickleball coach

I have been playing pickleball for the last three- and one-half years. During this time, I have come to embrace the fun and exciting world that pickleball offers. It is a unique sport that is both social and competitive. I am an experienced player with one year of coaching under my belt. I passed the PPR level 1 coaching course in February 2023 and passed the PPR level 2 coaching course in December 2024. In addition, I recently took and passed the Youth Development Course that PPR offers. These courses certify me to be able to teach pickleball to all ages across all levels. I am passionate about helping others discover the joy of this sport. My coaching style combines technical expertise with a fun, safe, supportive and inclusive environment with the aim to elevate a player’s game. Some of my goals are as follows.  I would like to promote physical and social activity for people of all ages, cultures, sexes and ethnicities, as playing pickleball is an excellent antidote to a sedentary and lonely lifestyle (especially as we age).  I would like to build and maintain positive coaching relationships with people of all generation, from all walks of life. I believe all our lives will be enriched if we confect with people of varying backgrounds.

Thank you, Marcel. So exciting, so fun, so cardio. Couldn’t ask for more. Just keeps getting better and better.
Pattu
Thank you Marcel for another terrific session. I don’t know how you do it with so much going on but you manage to give us individual instruction while keeping everyone engaged and on our toes! Kudos to you!
Eileen
Marcel, you did it once again. You gave us wonderful directions and kept us moving. I really like the fast pace and the instruction...now the key is to use your tutorials on the court!!🤞 Thank you!!
Julie O
This was so much fun today. Loved both the Instruction and the fast pace Highly recommend Marcel.
Denise
Absolutely loved every lesson I took with coach Marcel. He was patient, attentive, and explained everything i asked in a calm and clear manner. I immediately learned how to serve better, drive and drop the ball better. Don’t miss the chance not to book him for a lesson.
Mary Lynn Mc
What a great day learning with Marcel he really gave good ideas of what to do and not to do in this simple little game he played with us
