I'm Coach Darren and I specialize in improving skills through targeted drills with a pickleball machine. My focus is on addressing weaknesses and specific shots such as more consistent and powerful backhands, hitting speedups and defending them, third shot drops, topspin rolls, resets, countering slices and dinking and flicks. By emphasizing technique and repetition, I help players improve their confidence on the shots, reduce errors and win more.
"Great coaching technique. Darren helped me improve my skill level and genuinely care about my progress.

Hi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading to a head Varsity tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game. Unlike many other coaches I earned a California State Bachelors degree which included a fifth year California State Teaching Credential. This training has given me the special skills to teach and coach my students at all levels of the game. It’s my passion. I recently won the Gold Medal 🏅in the Mixed Doubles at the Tri-Valley Pickle Ball Championships.

"Today’s lesson really built on the fundamentals we put in place during prior lessons. Also, the video recording you made helped me visualize what I am doing well and what I need to work on. I will be out of state until mid September and look forward to continuing our lessons then. I also appreciate your perspective and explanation around your interactions with Diane. She asked me if it would be OK to combine her lesson with mine this week and I take full responsibility for not immediately shutting this down. She also had some difficulty navigating the app and I wasn’t able to
