Luis
My love affair with tennis ignited at the age of 7. Fast forward, and I secured a tennis scholarship to play D1 tennis, completing four enriching years on the court. Post-graduation, fueled by the desire to continue playing, I ventured into the professional realm, earning ITF transition points in singles and pro points in doubles. Beyond my journey as a player, I've embraced coaching, sharing my expertise at high-end resorts in Barbados, and imparting tennis wisdom in Germany. Join me in unraveling the intricacies of tennis, where every stroke is a testament to a lifetime of passion and dedication.

Transform your pickleball game with my two years of coaching experience! I'm passionate about sharing my love for this exciting sport and helping players of all levels reach their full potential. Let's work together to elevate your game in a fun and supportive environment. I began my journey working at a private PB club where it was part of my job to learn how to play, I was hooked right away. I was inspired by the coaches loving what they did and seeing the players get better as they came off the court from a lesson or clinic. I have been teaching locally at HOA's and within my own community and decided to get my certification in March 2025 so I would be properly registered and insured. Come and join me, learn, laugh and have fun and take your pickleball journey with me!
