Learn Pickleball with Zak

⭑4.8 (19)
💰$50 weekly lessons

As a pickleball coach and instructor who plays forty hours a week, I am here for all your pickleball needs. Whether you would like to learn how to play the game, perfect your serve, or want to learn how to stop getting beat up by your friends, I am the person for the job. I utilize my private court (with lights until 10pm) that is conveniently located off the 5 in Carlsbad, but can also travel to your private court or any courts that allow public lessons. I am a Selkirk Advocate, so no equipment is necessary for you to start learning today.
