Everybody could use a coach
You can get there on your own. I did. You watch a lot of video, put in the reps, lose ’til you don’t. Plenty have done it that way. What I have learned, however, is that a good coach can help you make progress faster, and a great coach can change your life.
That’s because pickleball isn’t just about skill, it’s about fun. And the truth is that most people enjoy doing it together better…
Every client has different needs: different goals, experience levels, ages, ways of learning. I’m excited to meet you, wherever you are on your personal pickleball journey. Together, we can both get better—and have fun along the way.
Here are some common types of clients we work with:
Newly Retired Execs
Lots of juice left in the battery
Motivated Doubles Team
How to play better together
Former racquet players
Looking to make the switch
Small families or friends
Something fun to do together
Our approach
Our teaching process mirrors the best practices of the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) and incorporates our unique style. It’s simple: listen, gather info, assess, validate, set goals, build skills, measure, kaizen (make progress everyday). We believe that in work as in life, you perform like you practice. Intentionality is important.
