Play Pickleball at Wheeler Park

With over two decades of recreational tennis and ping pong experience, coupled with two years immersed in the world of Pickleball, I've cultivated a deep passion for racket sports. Transitioning into coaching, I've discovered a profound love for Pickleball and pursued full-time certification as a PPR instructor. My goal is simple: to share my enthusiasm for the sport and instill proper techniques, guiding players to their fullest potential on the Pickleball court.

"The coach was very nice and easy to work with. Came with all the necessary equipment to help guide me. Helped take videos so I could see for myself the issues with my form. Unfortunately, the location had a small hiccup with too many players and a small part of the lesson took part outside of a pickleball court. Other than that, the lesson itself was sufficient enough for me to start working on some of my bad habits.
