Private Lessons & Coaches in Claymont, DE

Igniting a love for the game is my mission. While relatively new to teaching, my deep understanding of pickleball strategy and technique allows me to effectively guide players of all levels. I'm dedicated to fostering a fun, supportive learning environment where you can reach your full potential.

Former collegiate player at Camden County College and professional athlete in Mexico, now dedicated to developing the next generation of players.

I specialize in hitting, fielding, and the mental side of the game, creating a positive environment while tailoring each session to the athlete. My goal is to build confidence, sharpen skills, and inspire a lifelong love for baseball.

"Before I started working with Coach Will, I felt like I had talent but didn’t really know how to put everything together. I would get frustrated during games, lose confidence after bad at-bats, and overthink a lot on the field. Coach Will changed that for me. What stood out first was how much energy and confidence he brought every lesson. He doesn’t just teach baseball skills — he teaches you how to think like a player. Every workout had a purpose. He broke down hitting, fielding, throwing, and even the mental side in a way that actually made sense.

I love reading and writing. I’m an EMT with experience teaching all different levels. Come learn in a judgement free and fun environment.

"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.

I picked up the guitar after hearing Blink-182 live and knew instantly it was what I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve written well over 100 songs and played my way through styles ranging from rock ’n’ roll and metal to pop, punk, and blues. What I love most about teaching is seeing that moment when everything clicks and the guitar becomes more than just practice, it becomes passion. My goal is to make learning feel easy, so every student leaves not just with skills, but with a love for the instrument.

"I grew up around music, my dad played but I felt weird asking him to teach… he’s way too strict. Found Mitch and he was very pleasing to work with. I can now play and I know all the chords and some scales. He gives a lot of homework and wants you to practice. He can be strict but he knows what he’s doing.
