Hi there! My name is Skylar and I’m thrilled to be your coach. I’ve been playing pickleball for about 2 years and have been a licensed PPR coach for about 6 months. Along with my doubles partner I’ve helped build the pickleball program at The Griffin Club in Culver City. From beginner to pro I love creating a relaxing environment where we can lock in the fundamentals and I can give you all the tools you need to succeed. I also help tennis players get into the game by pointing out the differences and adapting their strengths to fit the smaller court. Reach out! I’ll seeya on the court.

"Absolutely excellent Coach. I will be back next week

Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully. Let's smash some volleys and serve up smiles together on the court!

"Great instruction for a beginner player by not over explaining or providing too much information that can overwhelm. Thank you.

I have been playing pickleball since early 2022 and received my PPR Associate Coach certification in June of 2023. Positive feedback from students reflect that I have a knack for easily explaining the rules of the game and can teach technique to beginners and intermediates in a fun and informative way. I have prior teaching experience in dance and gymnastics as a young adult. I have trained extensively at camps and clinics lead by numerous instructors and Pros, including Tyson McGuffin, Susannah Barr, Zac Taylor Lisa & Wayne Dollard, and Bobby Phoumy. Pickleball fondly reminds me of my younger days playing badminton and ping pong. I really enjoy sharing valuable information to inspire others to learn and find happiness in mastering this super fun sport for all ages. I have recently received an additional PPR certification, specializing in pickleball youth development geared for students age 6 through teens.

"What a lesson, that highlight really stuck with me, and I’m excited to learn more as I improve. The calm pace fits my style, and I’m eager for the next lesson with Lisa.
