Hi I’m Rick a Level 1 Professional Pickleball Registry Certified Coach who loves helping players unlock “lightbulb moments” on the court. I work with all ages and skill levels, from true beginners who have never picked up a paddle to developing players looking to add strategy, consistency, and confidence to their game. My coaching style is positive, energetic, and highly supportive. I’m big on fundamentals, proper technique, and injury-prevention, and I’ll make sure you leave every session feeling more skilled, more confident, and more in love with pickleball than when you arrived. I currently teach private pickleball lessons, clinics that focus on developing technical skills and applying them to tactical game situations. I work with both children and adults through one-on-one coaching and group instruction. My teaching style emphasizes confidence, communication, and steady progress. I love adapting lesson plans to ensure each participant is challenged appropriately, whether they are brand-new beginners or competitive players looking to improve performance. I focus on simple, clear instruction that players can instantly apply, and I tailor every session to how you learn. Whether you want to improve your grip, footwork, serve, dink game, third-shot drop, or overall strategy, I’ll show you exactly what to do — and why it works! If you’re ready to learn the game the right way — and have a blast doing it — I’d love to work with you. Let’s play! Rick Adamy PPR Level 1 Certified Coach Serving the Tampa Bay area

"Honestly, I felt like the lesson really hit the mark, especially with how Fin emphasized the importance of consistency, which is something I’ve struggled with. Although I still have some technical adjustments to make, I left feeling more aware of my stance and movement on court. Still, I think with a bit more practice, I could definitely see noticeable progress. If you're aiming to fine-tune your game, it might be worth giving Fin a shot.

If you’re serious about your game, you’re in the right place. I specialize in developing players who want more than just drills. My training focuses on game situations, decision-making, and building skills that actually show up when it matters. Players I’ve worked with have elevated their handle, improved their shot, and gained the confidence to compete at the next level—including pros preparing to play overseas. Every workout has purpose. Every rep has intent. Every session moves you forward.
"Kenu motivated me throughout my workout especially when I was tired. He helped me in my weak points in ball handling with my off hand, strong passes, and footwork while I was dribbling. Overall a really awesome and down to earth dude.
