Bio: What are the rules of pickleball? Need a comfortable space to learn it all in 1 lesson with absolutely no judgment? I am here to teach beginners who are just getting started in Pickleball! If you want to learn the basic rules of the game so you can start playing, I'm your guy. Will even have a partner or two so we can run a simulated game & by the end of our 1st session, I guarantee you will know all the rules of pickleball & how to play! **If you're an intermediate or advanced player, get ready to work, you will specifically drill with me to get you from a 3.0 to a 4.0+ or 4.0 to a 5.0+!**

Bio: I am a celebrated athlete who clinched the 5.0 men's doubles National Championship gold in 2021. With a commanding Men’s doubles DUPR rating of 6.19, I've dominated the Illinois scene and made my mark in the pro circuit, securing impressive 5th place finishes in the men's doubles pro division at both the Chicago Open and Cincinnati Open tournaments.

Bio: Hi, I’m Muhammad Nawaz— a passionate pickleball coach and player with more than 4 years of on-court experience and a deep love for the fastest-growing sport in America. For me, pickleball isn’t just a game — it’s a lifestyle. It’s where fun meets focus, competition meets community, and anyone can become a better version of themselves with the right mindset (and a solid backhand). I’ve spent the last four years learning the game inside and out, and now I help others do the same — whether you're stepping onto the court for the first time or pushing to reach the next level. My coaching style is all about energy, encouragement, and smart strategy. I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward real improvement — without taking the fun out of it. Let’s train hard, laugh often, and turn your goals into game-winning shots.
