Matt is an incredible instructor. He has deep knowledge and experience with the game and was immediately able to assess where I was in my pickleball journey and provide me guidance and skills building exercises. After one lesson I noticed an improvement and felt more confident as a player. I very much look forward to continuing to work with him.

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen working with kids in Pickleball, keep sessions fun, fast-paced, and focused on fundamentals through games and repetition. Start each session with a dynamic warm-up and movement-based game to build coordination, followed by short skill-building segments like paddle control, dinks, serves, and groundstrokes, adjusted for age and ability. Use creative drills like “Kitchen Knockout” or “Serve the Target” to keep them engaged while learning court awareness and teamwork. Emphasize encouragement, communication, and basic strategy over strict technique, and always wrap up with a quick review, high fives, and a fun challenge they can try at home.

Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers in Pickleball, focus on building strong fundamentals while introducing strategy, competitive gameplay, and teamwork. Keep sessions dynamic and challenging with structured drills that develop shot consistency, footwork, and court positioning. Teenagers respond well to game-based learning, so include point play, mini-tournaments, and scenario-based drills to keep them engaged. Encourage them to think tactically—when to attack, when to reset—and foster a positive, goal-oriented environment where they can improve, compete, and have fun

I started playing pickleball 3 years ago. I grew up playing tennis and have lots of knowledge from that that translates to Pickleball. After discovering pickleball I quickly fell in love with the game. As a 4.1-rated player, I enjoy coaching and focusing on swing mechanics, proper footwork, and strategy. I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and love of the game and helping others improve their Pickleball skills! I enjoy making lessons fun and engaging.
