“The lesson was quite helpful and my son seemed to really enjoy it and is looking forward to his next lesson.”Carmen N., parent
About NickHi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading to a head Varsity tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game.
Unlike many other coaches I earned a California State Bachelors degree which included a fifth year California State Teaching Credential. This training has given me the special skills to teach and coach my students at all levels of the game. It’s my passion.
I recently won the Gold Medal 🏅in the Mixed Doubles at the Tri-Valley Pickle Ball Championships.Go to profileSuperCoach

“As a complete beginner, I really enjoy Coach Logan’s class because it’s tailored to my skill level. The class starts with the fundamentals and gradually progresses as I improve. Coach Logan is very passionate and always gives me helpful tips on how to get better, even pointing out small details I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. After taking his class, I feel much more confident playing pickleball. Highly recommend!”Carrie, student
About LoganStuck at 2.5–3.5? I specialize in individualized pickleball lessons for players who want to break through their plateau and build a strong, reliable foundation.
Many players reach 2.5–3.5 simply by playing more. But eventually, experience alone stops working. Their shots stay inconsistent—and often they don’t understand why.
That’s where I come in.
Every lesson is customized to identify what is really holding your game back and rebuild the foundation behind it.
I don’t just teach HOW to hit a shot.
You’ll understand:
WHY the shot works
WHEN to use it
WHAT to do in different situations
HOW to execute it consistently
Even within the HOW, you’ll learn the principles behind the technique—not just copy a motion—so you can recognize mistakes, make adjustments, and improve independently.
My approach:
Assess → Understand → Fix → Practice → Apply
We focus only on what your game actually needs—whether that’s your serve, return, drive, drop, dink, reset, footwork, positioning, or shot selection.
New to pickleball? You’re welcome too. Build the right foundation from day one so you can progress faster and avoid habits that become harder to fix later.
Understand Your Game. Build Your Foundation. Level Up.Go to profileSuperCoach

“I was lucky enough to find coach Shannon for my little ones. In a desperate attempt to distract kiddos from devices, I wanted to try tennis with the little ones, who each has their personalities. Coach Shannon is a wonderful coach. She has been always so encouraging to the girls and trying different ways to make the lessons fun. When the girls were having their moments, she accommodated based on situations. She has been very patient and an excellent coach. I also had my private session with her and enjoyed it very much. We really love coach Shannon and would love to keep coming back.”Haiyang H., parent

About Thomas**GREAT STUDENTS MAKE GREAT COACHES**
For the past 20 years, I have been coaching and instructing many of the top golfers in Solano County. I firmly believe that "great players make great coaches." Here are some of my esteemed references:
Aaron Beverly: Aaron has competed on the PGA, APGA, and Canadian Tours. During his time at Sac State, he broke numerous records and has won on the APGA Tour. He holds several course records, including a 59 at Rancho Murieta.
Easton Hether: Class of 2026 at Cal State East Bay, Easton has already secured first-place finishes in tournaments and was named the 2023 Conference Freshman of the Year; 2025 CSEB Athlete of the Year; 2026 Career Athlete Award
Anthony Del Dotto: A Class A PGA Professional and graduate of PGA/PGM New Mexico State, where he was a Jones Cup Champion.
Mark Mills: Operations Manager at Jelly Belly. Mark improved from shooting over 100 to breaking 90 in just months through dedication to my 'Five Keys Method.'
Although I now coach part-time, I have spent the past 20 years coaching and instructing for The City of Fairfield, Holy Spirit Middle School, and most recently, the Vacaville High Bulldogs.
More than 10 of my students have gone on to play at the college level. But one of my proudest accomplishments is every junior player I have coached that went on to play in high school made their varsity squad as freshmen.
Throughout these two decades, I have developed "The Five Keys" method of rapid learning. While I have specialized in instructing juniors with aspirations to play at the highest level, this method is designed for players who cannot dedicate hours each day to practice. The Five Keys Method focuses on accelerating progress without requiring extensive practice time.
The Five Keys has consistently proven its effectiveness over the years, and I take great satisfaction in helping golfers achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be.Go to profile99OutstandingTop rated

“I found the lesson quite helpful, especially revisiting some theory which gave me a clearer understanding, though I think going back to singing and vocal techniques might be useful next time. Gillian has a calm approach that makes it easier to focus on improvement and learning. It's promising to see such thoughtful guidance, and I look forward to building on what we've started with her. Wouldn't hesitate to suggest giving Gillian a try if you're aiming for steady progress.”Guilherme S., student

“Oh, I’d say Deanne’s lessons are pretty helpful. I especially appreciated learning about different chords, mainly with the left hand, which felt quite practical.
