About Emily

As a former collegiate athlete, I bring a strong competitive mindset and over three years of coaching experience to every lesson. I’ve been playing pickleball for five years and now compete at a high, professional level. I was the pro of lifetime fitness in Boca Raton, FL, I help assist in La Mesita, and I worked at a country club as a professional coach for juniors. As President of the SDSU Pickleball Team, I plan, organize, and lead all club operations. My passion for pickleball is contagious, and I focus on making every session both effective and enjoyable. I’m excited to help you elevate your game and reach your full potential.

Pickleball Lessons in San Diego

San Diego's pickleball scene has exploded over the past few years, and you've got 21 active coaches ready to help you jump in. Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or sharpening your competitive edge, lessons range from $31 to $156 per session, with most coaches averaging around $65.

Why take pickleball lessons in San Diego?

San Diego's mild winters and consistent sunshine mean you can play pickleball outdoors almost every day of the year without the extreme heat that impacts other Southwest cities. The sport has deep roots in the local recreational community, with courts scattered across public parks and private facilities, creating plenty of opportunities to practice and find playing partners. The strong tourism and active retirement population have made pickleball one of the fastest-growing sports in the region, so you'll have no shortage of players at your skill level.

We’ll kick things off with a quick evaluation to see where you’re currently at—your shot mechanics, movement, court awareness, and overall strengths. From there, we’ll dive into refining fundamentals that may need a tune-up to strengthen your foundation. I’ll also get a feel for your goals so I can tailor our sessions to what you want to achieve—whether that’s winning more points, mastering advanced strategy, or prepping for tournaments.

Coach Michael

pickleball coach

I've always enjoyed working with kids and giving them lots of encouragement to help them reach their goals. In the past I have worked as a teacher's assistant in a special education class, worked as a camp counselor, coached youth soccer, and helped take care of my nieces and nephews. It's always great to see kids learn and develop new skills while having fun!
