Bio: My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college.    A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court.    I'm here to help.   

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’m a pro basketball skills trainer with 14 years of experience, and I’ve been playing pickleball for the past three years, currently ranking as a 4.5 player. My focus is on teaching the fundamentals and strategic play, drawing from my background in basketball to enhance my coaching.
