With a journey in Pickleball that spans back to 1979, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the court. Proficient in numerous racket sports and armed with certifications as an IPTPA Instructor and USAPA Ambassador, I've dedicated myself to spreading the joy of Pickleball. As a tournament player and adaptive sports wheelchair athlete, I've embraced the sport's inclusive nature, advocating for its expansion and development in Killeen and the Greater FT Cavazos Area. Beyond the court, my educational background includes a Master's in Counseling Psychology and licensure as a Massage Therapist, reflecting my commitment to holistic well-being. Let's connect, play, and grow together in the world of Pickleball.

Coach Monroe is fantastic! He’s patient, easygoing, and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. He tailored the lesson to match my fitness level and was incredibly knowledgeable. He even shared helpful resources to get me more involved with pickleball. I’ll definitely be continuing lessons with him! He’s great with all ages and skill levels—even works with individuals in wheelchairs. Highly recommend!

Monroe is the most patient, encouraging, energizing coach I have seen. He teaches skills and drills ti enhance your game. He can compete with the midset & skill of a champion, yet with the immense patience. Monroe keeps up with the latest rules and any changes to the pickleball game. He teaches specific drills and skills for your shallow points
