Private Lessons & Coaches in Springdale, AR

I’ve played soccer my whole life, played high school varsity, played college ball at central Baptist & university of central Arkansas. Played UPSL & NPSL at Arkansas wolves. I’ve experienced being coached by coaches all over the world, played with professional and high level college players.

I started playing back in 2023 and am going into my 4th year of playing pickleball competitively. Haven't done that many DUPR-rated tournaments, but I have done many that are not DUPR-rated. If I had to self-rate right now, I would put myself in the 3.8-4.0 Category based on leagues and non-rated DUPR tournaments I have played recently. What a First lesson would look like is starting off at level 1 and just learning the basics of pickleball. Where to stand when playing, where to hit the ball,etc
