“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.

About NickHi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts.

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.

“We worked with Dre to help our daughter develop her fundamentals in basketball, and we’re really happy we found her! Right away, our daughter felt a great connection with Dre, which I think is so important when it comes to any coach-player relationship. From there, Dre was able to quickly identify the areas our daughter could improve on while also recognizing the things she was already doing well. She was always on time, professional, and really knew how to work with our daughter. We felt like our daughter learned a ton in the short amount of time they worked together, and we could already see the improvement. We definitely plan to continue working with Dre as our daughter starts her school basketball season. Thanks so much, Dre!”Mike T., studentAbout DreAt the age of 9, I discovered basketball and became obsessed with it. “Basketball is life” was my motto growing up—from finishing team practices at the gym, then going straight to a local basketball court for pickup games. I considered basketball courts my second home, and in many ways, they still are.
My playing journey took me through several years in AAU and Showcase leagues, starting with the Bay Area Asian Sports Dragons as a youth and onto other travel teams. I competed in basketball tournaments held in Reno and all over California year-round. As a four-year varsity player, I continued to earn MIP and MVP awards in high school, and was honored to make the PAL NorCal All-League First and Second Teams during my later years. I was also recognized the Student Athlete of the Year as a triathlete playing volleyball and running track in addition to basketball for all of those years. These experiences have taught me a lot about overcoming adversities, teamwork, and leadership. More importantly, I learned that the relationships you create with your team and community are the lifelong awards from sports.
I am an advocate for fostering community and connections through sports, and I truly believe that sports bring out the best in people. Having walked the path from beginner to competitive player, I want to be a guiding light for those just starting out or looking to elevate their development. My goal is to help players grow their skills while encouraging them to become better people throughout their journey.
For over two decades, I’ve cultivated a deep love and understanding of basketball. I focus on skill development and strategic thinking, fostering both confident players and a genuine love for the game. I’m here to share that same passion with anyone who aspires to get better and compete to their fullest potential.Go to profileSuperCoach
