Hi! My name is Katie and I am the founder of Katie’s Court Coaching. To me stepping onto the court is like stepping into another world, and I'm passionate about helping others discover that same joy. As a former collegiate athlete with 12 years of coaching experience, I bring a unique blend of high-level expertise and a deep understanding of the game to every lesson. My goal is to get you to fall in love with the game while teaching you the techniques it takes to be an amazing player. Let's unlock your potential together – on and off the court.

"Great first lesson. She worked on drills and improved footwork.

With a 30 year tennis playing and coaching career, culminating with a top 40 national ranking and playing D1 at the #1 spot, Andrew was convinced to try pickleball on a whim 4 years ago. He was instantly hooked and immediately began a pursuit of competition and knowledge that took him across the country. He loves every minute of playing and teaching, and the most rewarding part is seeing his students put lessons, tips, and tricks into their gameplay. He competes in tournaments when he can fit them into his busy schedule raising 3 kids with their own athletic aspirations. He is Selkirk/PCI certified and plays at the 5.0+ level.

"Andrew was super nice. He came prepared and on time. He has strong court knowledge and we had a great hitting session.

I’m known for my patience and intuition, which helps me tailor lessons precisely to your needs and goals. With experience as a medalist in multiple tournaments, including competing at the 2018 Nationals and earning a silver medal at the 2019 Ruidoso 4.5, I bring a proven track record of success to my teaching. My approach focuses on adapting to each individual’s style to ensure the best possible outcome. I also now have a ball machine. This helps maximize our lessons and helps you as the student to develop “muscle memory” of the various strokes in pickleball. I highly recommend to any student to allow me to teach at the EŌS on 75 th ave and Encanto.

"We just started not too long ago & everything he preached about how my game can get better is showing

Hi I'm coach JD and I'm 28 years old. I have been playing basketball since I was 6 and have years of experience coaching at the high school level. Being a good basketball player you have to be consistent, have a hard work ethic, and be coachable. Working on your skills is just as important as playing the game. That creates growth and separation in your game. If you want to be better, be different. Are you ready to elevate your game to the next level? Let's work!

With over 15 years guiding players, I blend fundamental skill-building with strategic gameplay understanding. My coaching fosters confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love for basketball. Let's elevate your game together!

"Nina focuses on development and confidence! We love her.
