Derick G.S. Davis Community Center @ Maides Park (Tennis Court)Pickleball Venue in Wilmington, NC

I'm on a mission to spread joy and love for this fantastic sport. My personal journey with pickleball has been nothing short of transformative, and now, as a dedicated teacher, I'm thrilled to share the physical and mental benefits of the game with others. From guiding beginners through the basics to refining advanced techniques, I'm committed to fostering improvement at every level. Witnessing players evolve and reach their full potential is what keeps my passion for pickleball alive. Join me on the court, and let's unlock the full spectrum of your pickleball prowess!

"Chris is great at pointing out what I need to work on and giving useful tips to improve my form, especially regarding my backhand. Though I still need to get the ball to go where I want, I feel more confident about my technique. If I keep practicing, I think I’ll see more progress. Still, I’d consider trying another lesson with Chris to keep developing my skills.

Teaching and coaching pickleball for over 3 years and playing for the past 10+ years.

I guarantee you will walk away a better player. Since practice makes permanent, make sure you are getting the right advice.

"I started lessons with Andrew three months ago with some basic beginner skills, and the 10‑pack was exactly what I needed. He had a clear, structured plan for each session and taught me skills I could practice on my own and then come back to refine with him. He was flexible with where my skill level actually was, but he also challenged me in the right ways. That combination helped me move ahead much faster than I would have on my own. By the end of the 10 lessons, I felt confident playing in social games. Highly recommend him for anyone wanting real progress and solid fundamentals.
