Hi! 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.
"Nick’s coaching session was great. He quickly grasped my strengths and weaknesses and gave helpful tips that brought a huge difference in my play. He covered net play, volleys, serves, fun game play 1:1 to bring the game mood and as a bonus stayed extra time to play few matches partnering with me and against me providing additional feedback on my play. If you are finding ways to switch between pickleball and tennis, Nick’s got some really good tips around switching your technique. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone at any level trying to improve their skills. I am coming back again for more lessons.

Hello, my name is Robert Reyes, I am a soccer coach/trainer in love with this sport. As a Latino I live soccer intensely, I try to instill in my players the necessary values to practice this beautiful sport. One of the problems that I notice in soccer here in the USA is the lack of understanding of the game, and I am not referring to the rules of the game, I am referring to understanding the essence of it, to be a great player you must dominate the field in everything its splendor, and that is my job, to make you develop your maximum potential. Many people believe that soccer is only played with the feet, but they are wrong, you need to train your mind to achieve the proposed objectives.

I'm Coach Darren and I specialize in improving skills through targeted drills with a pickleball machine. My focus is on addressing weaknesses and specific shots such as more consistent and powerful backhands, hitting speedups and defending them, third shot drops, topspin rolls, resets, countering slices and dinking and flicks. By emphasizing technique and repetition, I help players improve their confidence on the shots, reduce errors and win more.
"Coach Darren made me feel so comfortable and gave me the best experience in my last 60 days of picking up the paddle! He was supportive while being direct and challenged me! Will continue sessions!
