Eric Park profile
About Eric

After a lifetime in tennis (and ping pong, badminton, squash) I was finally bitten by the pickleball bug and my passion for the sport has only grown. My beginner students can expect a fun learning environment in a casual setting. For those looking to up their game, power strokes, volley smashes and vicious spins are a session away. Intermediate player looking to refine their game? Letā€™s get drilling. Iā€™ll happily rally and match play with you after. Regardless of your goals, letā€™s get out there and pickle!

What students say...

The lesson was quite helpful overall. Eric provided some useful tips that I think will help me sharpen my skills, though I still have a bit to work on. The lesson highlighted my backhand more clearly, which was good, and I feel more confident about improving. Still, Iā€™m hopeful that with time, I can build further on what I learned.
