Kevin Eichelberger profile
About Kevin

I'm passionate about introducing people to the exciting world of pickleball! My focus is on helping beginners and intermediate players build a strong foundation in the sport. I've developed a series of engaging drills and practice routines designed to teach essential skills and strategies. Whether you're looking to master the basics or refine your offensive and defensive tactics, I can provide the guidance and support you need to take your game to the next level. I believe in making learning fun and effective, empowering players to confidently step onto the court and enjoy all that pickleball has to offer.

What students say...

"Hey, I’d say Kevin’s lesson was quite helpful. I’m definitely seeing progress, especially with my serves, though I need to work more on my footwork and being ready to return the ball swiftly. Still, I feel optimistic about sharpening my skills with his guidance. Maybe more practice with dinking and ping-ponging the ball will help me get there. It’s been a good experience so far, and I’d suggest trying him out if you’re looking to improve your game.

Kevin’s lesson was quite helpful. I felt comfortable addressing aspects I should practice, especially my serve, and I’m actually looking forward to showing off my improvement. Though there’s still some room to grow, the focus on consistent practice gives me hope I’ll get there soon. If you’re thinking about trying a lesson, Kevin’s approach seems steady and well-paced, making it easier to stay motivated.

The lesson with Kevin was quite helpful. I really appreciated his focus on my ping pong control, especially regarding ball placement and footwork. Though I still need to improve my paddle positioning, the guidance was practical and clear. Still, I look forward to building on this and practicing what I learned. If you're aiming to tighten up your back-and-forth game, Kevin’s a solid choice.

Wow, Kevin really is quite a good coach. The lesson focused on the fundamentals, including footwork and strategy, which I found quite helpful. Still, I think continuing to work on my dink and serve will really improve my game, and I hope to get a bit better at managing frustration when I miss shots. I've seen genuine progress already, so I’ll probably try to keep practicing with him.

Kevin's lesson really helped me refine my serves and develop better ball control, which has made a noticeable difference. Still, I think focusing more on some specific techniques could really accelerate my progress, but overall, I feel confident now and looking forward to the next lesson with him.
