Play Pickleball at Greenacres Freedom Park

I'm a native Floridian who traded golf clubs and tennis rackets for the exhilarating world of pickleball in 2020. Since then, I've become a certified instructor with Pickleball Coaching International and DUPR sharing my passion of the game through teaching over 300 clinics and private lessons. My teaching philosophy is simple – tailor the learning experience to each individual, focusing on fundamentals, drills, and tactical insights. I take pride in helping my students achieve their specific goals efficiently and effectively. I am an ambassador for several pickleball companies and have several varieties of paddles for my students to demo during our time together. Let's embark on a pickleball journey together, where learning meets fun, and victories follow every well-played point!

"Stephen has been instrumental in taking my game to the next level. He has identified some key positioning an footwork errors that previous instructors never either noticed or mentioned. I look forward to working with Stephen for a long time to come!

I have been playing pickleball for 6 years and teaching for 3. Technique is everything to me, when working with a student we really break down the shot and work on mechanics to improve consistency and accuracy.
