Beginner? Advanced? No idea? but just want to learn something? I'm a passionate pickleball coach with 15 years of experience teaching and coaching various sports, including pickleball for 3 years. Do you want to get good and compete in tournaments or just play for fun and exercise? Just need a hitting partner that can give feedback? All are good goals but impact the way you train. I believe in fostering a love for the game and building confidence at every skill level while keeping in mind rule number one… Have fun! My coaching style combines drills and gameplay to provide practical experience and ensure measurable results. We co-create the adventure.

James is amazing. I appreciate he how he makes it fun even when I make the same mistake over and over haha he truly goes the extra mile and I feel like I can communicate with him even between lessons if I have a question or something, I’m not quite doing as well as I want or if I wanna circle back to one of his points. Highly recommend!

James is a pleasure to work with and takes things at your pace using the first lesson as an assessment of skills. The rest of the lesson gives you tips to improve weaknesses and even homework. I’m looking forward to future lessons with him hoping to improve my pickleball skills.
