These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.



With an extraordinary tennis journey, Erik rose to prominence as a top-ranked junior player, both nationally and internationally. My collegiate career with NC State and Morehouse College saw me achieve an unprecedented feat, marking an undefeated season and defeating the #1 player on the nation's top-ranked team. His talents extended to the ATP World Tour, where he secured world rankings in both singles and doubles, despite an abbreviated tour stint due to sponsorship challenges. Afterwards he transitioned to work alongside distinguished players in the WTA/ATP tours, including Heidi El Tabakh, Edina Gallovits, Donald Young, and more. My coaching prowess also shone as he trained junior world champions, including notable names like Emma Kurtz and Dillon Pottish. Currently, Erik is dedicated to running a junior program aimed at preparing young talents for college tennis and beyond. In addition, he's building a comprehensive tennis academy featuring six courts, a swimming pool, and dormitory facilities, where the future of tennis can be nurtured and inspired.
"Erik is a great pro. Highly recommend him. Thank you !


I have over 20 years of coaching experience. Coaching is my passion and purpose in life. Developing people through sports and culture is what I was created to do and I love it! I started playing pickleball a little over 2 years now and I can’t stop playing. I love the community aspect of the game and how it brings all different types of people and skill levels together. Although I coach the sport I also play it at a high level. So I make my training/coaching sessions fun, interactive, thought provoking, and competitive. From youth beginner level to the adult 5+ DUPR level and all in between Id love to help you get better. Come rock out with me!!
