Top 2 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Oak Park, IL

Bio: After a lifetime in tennis (also ping pong, badminton and squash) I was finally bitten by the pickleball bug and my passion for the sport has only grown. My beginner students can expect a fun learning environment in a casual setting. For those looking to up their game, power strokes, volley smashes and vicious spins are a session away. Intermediate player looking to refine their game? Let’s get drilling. I’ll happily rally and match play with you after. Regardless of your goals, let’s get out there and pickle!

Bio: Hi, I’m Muhammad Nawaz— a passionate pickleball coach and player with more than 4 years of on-court experience and a deep love for the fastest-growing sport in America. For me, pickleball isn’t just a game — it’s a lifestyle. It’s where fun meets focus, competition meets community, and anyone can become a better version of themselves with the right mindset (and a solid backhand). I’ve spent the last four years learning the game inside and out, and now I help others do the same — whether you're stepping onto the court for the first time or pushing to reach the next level. My coaching style is all about energy, encouragement, and smart strategy. I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward real improvement — without taking the fun out of it. Let’s train hard, laugh often, and turn your goals into game-winning shots.
