Youth players
Working with kidsI keep lessons fun, active, and encouraging while still teaching strong fundamentals. I have two younger siblings that I regularly teach, so I’m used to working with kids and helping them learn the game in a way that keeps them engaged and confident.
Working with teenagersI focus on improving technique, strategy, and confidence while keeping lessons competitive and enjoyable. I’ve been teaching a 15-year-old player who has improved a ton and is almost at my level now.
What you need to bringAppropriate shoes and attire

Great coach and super easy to learn from. He explains everything clearly, from the basics to advanced strategy, and makes practice fun. After just a few lessons, my confidence and consistency improved a lot.

He helped me learn the rules and basics of pickleball really quickly and made everything easy to understand.
