Bio: Pickleball has become my passion, and I love sharing that passion with others. I've been teaching for years, and it brings me joy to see my students develop their skills and love for the game.

Bio: With a lifelong background in racket sports, including tennis, table tennis, and a passion for pickleball, I combine my experience as a competitive 5.0-level pickleball medalist and former varsity tennis player, helping lead my team to three Division 1 championships and the Southern California Semi-finals. As a teaching professional at Braemar Country Club, Mika's Tennis Academy, and a former Special Education teacher, registered behavior therapist, and adaptive skills clinician, I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis, and a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, and Biomechanics. Students have medaled in 2.5–4.5 and qualified for USAP Nationals. Let’s improve your game, reach new heights, and most importantly, have fun!

Bio: Hi I’m Nicky! I’ve been playing pickleball for almost 3 years and unfortunately if you hate tennis players, I am one of those players ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have almost 20 years of tennis experience, from playing juniors up until I played 3 seasons of DII tennis at Sonoma State and 6+ years coaching/hitting partner for juniors/adults. If you’re familiar w/ their rating system I was rated as a 5.0+ NTRP/11.5 UTR (highest) Admittedly I, like most tennis players, was not a fan of pickleball at all but that quickly changed when I was exposed to the great community pickleball had to offer…unfortunately after getting destroyed by the 5.0+ groups but nonetheless had a great time at both sessions. From there on I haven’t looked back. I continue share my love for the sport through competition, coaching, and overall enjoying everything this sport has to offer. I offer lessons for all ages and skill levels. My approach to teaching has always been about making the complex things (or things that seems complex) simple and memorable
