About your pickleball coach
I'm a competitive pickleball player and coach who has won gold medals in both doubles and singles. I've been teaching tennis for 16 years and pickleball for almost 2. Beginners will be able to learn the basics and get started playing quickly. More advanced players will be able to appreciate my ability to see nuanced flaws and strengths in their game. Players of all levels will be able to grow with the right guidance.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI like to speak with the student first about what their pickleball goals are and construct a plan to get them to where they want. A first lesson with a beginner will usually consist of learning the rules as well as basic shots like the serve, return of serve and third shot.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ will likely delve into more advanced shots like resets and counters as well as some basic strategy and point play/competitive drills. This will prepare and give confidence to a beginning student looking to get into competitive play.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 will consist of repetition of correct technique of shots already learned with emphasis on footwork and preparation to hit these shots.
Lesson 2-32nd and 3rd lessons will most likely consist of introducing dinks and volleys as well as reinforcing the shots learned from the first lesson. Positioning will likely be addressed.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFirst lesson with advanced players will discuss where they are at now and what they wish to focus on and where they want to be. This lesson will most likely consist of working on just one or two points that the student wishes to focus on the most. Usually something like fast hands at the net, transition play or third shots.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ will consist of rounding out the students weaknesses as well as improving upon their strengths in order to build consistent winning patterns in game.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 will consist of competitive drills to reinforce techniques learned with pressure of keeping score.
Lesson 2-3Next lessons will reemphasize the techniques learned to improve confidence in a certain shot/pattern.
Youth players
