      Coaching Pickleball is real joy for me.  I’ve been coaching a variety of sports for over 20 years.  I truly enjoy teaching at all levels and ages, but I have a knack for beginners and intermediates.  As much as I want to increase your skill level, I also want to increase your Pickleball IQ which I know will benefit all my students on their Pickleball journey.
