“Bill is the best pickleball coach I’ve ever had. In addition to his technical instruction, he provides valuable tactical guidance thanks to his own experience as an active professional player. What’s even more remarkable is the emotional support he offers—as both my coach and my 10-year-old son’s coach, he has helped my child learn how to manage emotions on the court.”Brenda M., parent
About BillFueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.Go to profile99OutstandingTop rated

“Sean is very clear with his instructions. He explains exactly what you need to know without being overly verbose and demonstrates well. Some people spend so much time explaining that you don't get much chance to practice, but Sean provides the right balance. If you mess up, he doesn't immediately stop you to re-explain because he understands you need to keep practicing before you can do what he said. Some people keep stopping you to keep re-explaining, preventing you from continuing to try to actually do what they instructed. Sean is good about letting you know what you did right and *how* you did something wrong. He always provides encouraging feedback.”Claire G., student
About SeanHi, I’m Coach Sean! I’m a patient, encouraging pickleball coach who helps beginners and intermediate players build confidence and develop strong fundamentals.
My lessons are fun, supportive, and personalized to your goals. I offer both individual and group lessons, creating an engaging environment where players can learn, practice, and improve together. I break each skill down into simple steps and provide clear, practical feedback so you understand not only what to do, but why it works. We can work on serving, returns, groundstrokes, volleys, kitchen play, court positioning, doubles strategy, and overall consistency.
I enjoy coaching kids, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Whether you have never picked up a paddle, are learning with a group, or want to take your game to the next level, I’ll meet you where you are and help you make noticeable progress while enjoying the process.
