Pickleball with Coach Nicky Valdecanas

Hi I’m Nicky! I’ve been playing pickleball for almost 3 years and unfortunately if you hate tennis players, I am one of those players ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have almost 20 years of tennis experience, from playing juniors up until I played 3 seasons of DII tennis at Sonoma State and 6+ years coaching/hitting partner for juniors/adults. If you’re familiar w/ their rating system I was rated as a 5.0+ NTRP/11.5 UTR (highest) Admittedly I, like most tennis players, was not a fan of pickleball at all but that quickly changed when I was exposed to the great community pickleball had to offer…unfortunately after getting destroyed by the 5.0+ groups but nonetheless had a great time at both sessions. From there on I haven’t looked back. I continue share my love for the sport through competition, coaching, and overall enjoying everything this sport has to offer. I offer lessons for all ages and skill levels. My approach to teaching has always been about making the complex things (or things that seems complex) simple and memorable
