"Ryan was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. We learned a lot! First time pickleball players. He brought everything we needed and we really understood the game when we were done

My pickleball journey started two years ago, and I quickly fell in love with the sport. Now a certified instructor, I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others, whether you're a beginner or looking to take your game to the next level.
"Mike started by assessing my abilities through warm ups and drills, then focuses lessons based on my abilities. He's great at not only analyzing strengths and weaknesses, but providing feedback in a constructive manner. He's patient and knowledgeable, and after only one lesson, I learned enough skills and rules to play a game! The drills he takes me through resemble game play. I endorse Mike for any level player looking to learn and improve!

Expert Squash & Pickleball Instruction With over 16 years of experience in professional squash and 4 years as a certified pickleball instructor, I provide high-performance training tailored to every level of play. Whether you are a junior picking up a racket for the first time or an adult looking to refine your competitive edge, my coaching focuses on technical precision, strategic movement, and game-day mental toughness.
"I have been working with the FXW School for the past two years to introduce and develop pickleball for their junior players. We consistently see a fantastic turnout, with up to 20 kids participating per session. While the students generally start as beginners, many are incredibly fast learners. We focus on blending skill-building with fun games, and after just a few sessions each term, the players successfully transition into competitive match play. It continues to be a highly successful program, and I look forward to getting them back on the court for the next session.
