Maryville Drost ParkPickleball Venue in Maryville, IL

I'm an ambassador for Six Zero Pickleball and currently a 4.5 DUPR rated player. My tennis, ping pong, and badminton backgrounds have helped me transition into pickleball rather easily. (I guess it's a "racquet sports" thing) I primarily play at Plummer Family Park in Edwardsville, IL and the Rally Club indoor facility in Glen Carbon, IL where I'm a member. I also play in a handful of tournaments each year where I've been fortunate enough to typically medal in those tournaments. I enjoy helping people at all levels understand the basic fundamentals of pickleball, explaining strategies and tactics, as well as discussing the pros and cons of different types of equipment you should be using (paddles, shoes, sunglasses, etc).

"Oh, I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, especially with some specific techniques I hadn’t considered before. Curt has a way of explaining details that stick without feeling overwhelming, which I appreciated. Though I still have some areas to improve, I’m feeling optimistic about practicing what I picked up. Still, I’m definitely open to trying another lesson with Curt in the future.
