Bio: Like many avid pickleball enthusiasts, I started playing tennis at a very young age. I played varsity tennis and competed in USTA tournaments, where I learned the value of form, footwork, and repetition. But pickleball is so much more than just technique—it's a game of strategy. I love the analogy that pickleball is chess, not checkers. I understand the concepts that can elevate any player, whether beginner or intermediate, to make smarter shots and improve their overall game. Beyond mechanics, I’m passionate about teaching the game of pickleball—how to play smart with shot selection, anticipation, and deception. Pickleball is a friendly, inclusive sport that brings together people from all walks of life to enjoy a challenging and fast-paced game that also happens to be a great workout. Let's get started and take your game to the next level!

Bio: I am a current NPL Senior Pro player and a PPR Certified Pro Coach with a strong competitive background. As a US Open and Diamond Championships champion, I bring high-level expertise to my coaching. My athletic journey began as a Division I basketball player before transitioning to pickleball, where I became part of the USTA National Pickleball Team Champions. I’m passionate about helping players elevate their game through top-notch instruction and strategic insights.

Bio: Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
