Paul Park profile
About Paul

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.

What students say...

"PJ was great and very good introducing me to the sport. Well worth it.

I had a wonderful first lesson with Nick! From the very beginning, his communication was kind, clear, and professional. Before our session, he sent helpful information about what to expect, along with tutorial videos to prepare me in advance. When we met, Nick was incredibly welcoming and came fully prepared with pickleball equipment and plenty of balls for practice. Throughout the lesson, he consistently gave me constructive feedback and really showed his expertise and command of the pickleball court. The entire experience was fun, engaging, and motivating. Nick taught me essential techniques, explained the basic rules, and gave me useful tips on how to stay consistent with my practice. We even spent a good amount of time free playing, which was a great way to reinforce everything I’d learned. After the lesson, he followed up with a detailed summary and encouraged me to continue with the sport — which I absolutely will. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to pickleball. Thank you, Nick!

I just had my first Pickleball lesson with Nick, and it was an amazing experience! Nick is a fantastic instructor – knowledgeable, patient, and full of positive energy. He took the time to explain the rules, techniques, and strategies in a way that was easy to understand for a beginner like me. What stood out most was how encouraging and engaging Nick was throughout the lesson. He provided personalized tips to improve my grip, stance, and swing, and I noticed progress in just one lesson. The balance between instruction and actual play, made the lesson in both educational and fun. Nick’s passion for Pickleball is contagious, and his enthusiasm made me feel confident and excited to keep learning. I can’t wait to book my next lesson and continue developing my skills. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking to learn or improve their game!

I highly recommend Nick as a Pickleball coach. In six lessons, he took me from a beginner to an intermediate player with noticeable improvements in my game. Thanks to his structured approach and a variety of drills, my drop shots and drives are more accurate, my back hand and serve have improved significantly, and I’ve developed better top spin control on difficult shots. Nick also helped refine my diagonal dink shots which has made a big difference in my overall strategy and confidence on the court. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective coach, Nick is the right choice.

I’ve had 3 lessons with Paul and I’m going to sign up for more! I came to him as a 3.0 player looking to improve my game with better offense. He has worked with me on topspin, speedups and roll volleys which have all been terrific! He also had a drill to specifically increase my aggressiveness. He is patient and will work with you on what you want to learn as well as point out areas of weakness. He gave me some great wall drills to practice between sessions. I couldn’t recommend Paul more highly for the intermediate player!!

PJ is an amazing coach! I have taken over 20 lessons with him (individually and as a group), and I have gotten more than I could have ever expected out of the lessons. He’s very knowledgeable, and he explains pickleball concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He also creatively makes modifications as needed in drilling exercises and in recreational games to even out the level of play between all players. I look forward to taking additional lessons with him and continuing to increase my skills.

I’d say the lesson gave me some useful pointers, especially on my serve placement and positioning, which I hadn’t really thought much about before. Still, I think I could benefit from more drills to really feel comfortable applying what was covered. Paul was quite clear and patient, though, and I’m hopeful that with continued practice, I’ll improve my game for open play. Would probably consider trying another lesson to keep that momentum going.

Well, this lesson really highlighted some subtle improvements, like how focusing on placement can make a difference in matches, though I still need to work on my consistency. Still, Paul’s approach felt quite practical without overloading me, and I appreciated his steady guidance throughout. If you're into improving your pickleball skills, it might be worth trying out a lesson or two with him to see how your game can develop.

10 lessons with a Paul and my friend and I have seen vast improvements in our games. We went from literally never holding a paddle to joining a county league! Paul is a fantastic coach! Highly recommend!
