Gilbert Private Pickleball Court

Bio: I came from a sports and athletic background. I played football, basketball, and baseball as a kid. I also played college tennis and college basketball. 5 years ago, I picked up pickleball paddle, and everything changed. I played in my first senior pro event after only playing for 6 months. I love pickleball and the pickleball community. I have now won cover 30 tournaments from 4.0 to 4.5 to 5.0. I have also achieved silver and bronze on several other tournaments. I get as much satisfaction teaching and helping people get better as I do winning gold in tournaments. I am the head pickleball pro at AAG in Mesa, Arizona. I have been teaching pickleball for the last 3 years. I have taught clinics, private lessons, youth leagues, and private groups. I look for specific things to help clients improve on, depending on your level and tendencies.

Bio: Hi soon to be obsessed Picklers, I'm Dalton from Gilbert,Az. I've been playing pickleball for about 7 years and 3 year competitively at the 5.0 level and pro qualifiers.

Show you the difference between rec play and tournament play.

Bio: I don’t believe in half-measures. Whether you’re stepping onto the court for the first time or grinding to break into the elite ranks, your progress is only as strong as your execution. As a high-performance pickleball coach, my focus is simple: building disciplined, strategic players who thrive under pressure. I don’t just teach the game—I train competitors. Players who are willing to sharpen their skills, refine their mentality, and commit to the work that separates the average from the elite. I’m currently on my own journey—pushing from a 4.5-5.0 player to professional 6.0+ status. I know exactly what it takes to climb the ranks because I’m in the trenches myself. Every drill, every match, every adjustment is part of a process designed to break past plateaus and develop a game that wins. My coaching isn’t about generic advice or passive hitting sessions. It’s about strategic drilling, technical refinement, and mental toughness. You’ll learn how to dictate play, maximize shot selection, and develop a mindset that dominates under pressure. If you're serious about leveling up—whether you’re a 3.0 player aiming for 4.0, or a 4.5 trying to break into tournament play—this is where your transformation starts. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just high-level execution.
