Hi, I’m Michael Stine III, a PPR Certified Professional Pickleball Coach and competitive player based in Southern California. I’ve been playing pickleball for three years and competing at a high level in CAPA, iPickle, collegiate tournaments, and internationally. I’ve coached athletes ranging from ages 8 to 60+, including Junior PPA and National Junior Pickleball champions. Many of my students have gone on to win tournaments at the 3.0–5.0 levels in singles, doubles, and mixed divisions. My coaching approach focuses on developing strong fundamentals and technical precision, smart strategy and tactical awareness, and mental toughness to elevate your game quickly. Whether you’re a beginner learning proper technique or an advanced player refining your competitive edge, I’ll tailor each session to your specific goals and skill level. I believe in building confidence through consistency, positivity, and game-based learning so you’ll not only improve but have fun doing it. Let’s get you ready to compete at your best and level up your pickleball game!

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the coaches who have been helping me through my first 5 basketball lessons. In such a short time, I’ve seen real improvement in my passing, ball control, and overall confidence on the court. The way you broke down the basics—like chest, bounce, and overhead passes—made it easy to understand and apply. The drills, especially partner passing and “keep away,” were fun and helped me build good habits fast. You made learning feel encouraging and supportive, and that made all the difference. Thanks for being patient, positive, and clear in your teaching. Looking forward to the next sessions!
