At 58 years old, I have a lifelong passion for racquet sports that began when I picked up tennis at the age of nine. I dedicated over 25 years to competitive tennis, honing my skills and technique. Transitioning into Beach Tennis at 40, I spent another five years competing at a high level. Seven years ago, I discovered Pickleball and instantly fell in love with the game. As a 4.5 level player, I am enthusiastic about sharing my expertise and skills with others who are eager to start or improve their game.

Your first lesson“The first lesson is always about observing, asking questions, and seeing what tools or skills the student has for the sport. From there, I evaluate and start teaching what I believe they should learn first, and work on improving the skills the student already has.”

Bring enough water or drink of your choice to stay well hydrated.
If classes are during the day, remember to bring what you need to protect yourself from the sun.
