LifeSport Tennis Club - Racine

Bio: I have been a certified Tennis Professional for the past 30 years. I have been playing Pickleball for more than 10 years. I became certified to teach pickleball for 2 plus years now. I have been enjoying it and helping people learn the game. I have been teaching all age groups from middle school to senior citizens. I’ve enjoyed watching my tennis students achieve many goals and now we’re doing it for Pickleball players.

Bio: I started playing recreationally in local leagues and recreation centers in the Racine area in 2019 in preparation to be an "empty-nester." Through Covid and beyond, I got the "Pickleball bug" bad and began honing my skills through regular play. I thoroughly enjoy the game - whether it is competitive play or just a social game with friends. I have been a teacher for the past 27 years, and have many years of experience in coaching youth sports. I have introduced the game to many friends and colleagues along the way, and am confident that I can teach you the game - and more importantly - impart a passion for picking up the sport that so many people now enjoy."

Bio: Hello, my name is Arian, and I am currently a freshman at UW Milwaukee. Tennis has been a part of my life for 9 years now, starting from my early years in middle school. As a freshman, I proudly served as the JV Captain, and I've had the honor of playing in varsity tennis for 3 years with my high school team. Alongside playing, I've also been sharing my passion for the sport by teaching tennis for about a year now, enjoying every moment of helping others improve their game.

Bio: I’m James Hass, a coach and fitness trainer dedicated to playing and coaching pickleball.
