"Timbo Slice is an absolute menace on the pickleball court—high-IQ strategy, relentless intensity, and hands so quick they should be illegal. He doesn’t just coach, he sharpens killers, turning solid players into confident, tournament-ready weapons. If you train with Timbo, expect results or get out of the way.

"Kalman has been an incredible tennis coach. I came to him with ongoing shoulder and wrist injuries and wasn’t sure how much I’d even be able to play, but through his deep understanding of technique and mechanics he helped me play to the best of my ability without pain. If something doesn’t click right away, he explains it in different ways until it does, and that patience and clarity have made a huge difference in my game.

I’m Derrick, an 20 year old 5.0+ Pickleball player (Playing in APP/PPA pro qualifiers soon!) based out of South Florida! In the past I’ve played tennis, table tennis, badminton, as well as a couple of other sports. I have coaching experience from tennis and bowling. But I want to teach the sport I’m most interested in, Pickleball! Excited to get on the court together. Heads up! Although I did do commercials Professor Pickleball. I specialize in developing a solid and well thought out game. Although the process is slower early on, the better you get the easier it will be to get better! My best shots are my drops/resets and my backhand flicks. And my playstyle is a very shifty “joker” style of play. I am also quite flexible with times and locations as long as there is a court open in the area!
"Great instructions very clear and precise helped me breakthrough. Very good with communication must recommend!
