Washington Park Pickleball ComplexPickleball Venue in Jefferson City, MO

My pickleball journey began after I played tennis from ages 27 to 30, discovering I had a knack for it. Three years ago, a high school friend and skilled tennis player introduced me to pickleball, and I've been addicted ever since, quickly becoming a strong player. Many players avoid hitting in my direction because I get to almost everything. I'm patient and encouraging with new players and have even offered pointers to a player I consider slightly better than me, which he humbly accepted and used to improve. Now, we're closely matched. I excel in singles and am often a top choice for doubles partners. I participated in the Show-Me State Games (SMSG) and won gold in my first year, marking my third gold medal in a third different sport across three decades, which I'm very proud of. I play multiple times a week and have a true passion for pickleball.

"Nice pacing and clear drills.. Lesson focused on my weaknesses with solid stance and grip tips, and the drills really helped my control and refined my returns. I highly recommend Coach Joe.
