About Kirk

My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college.    A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court.    I'm here to help.   

What students say...

"My first lesson with Kirk was quite helpful, especially since he covered some key techniques that really stuck with me, though I still see plenty of room for improvement. Still, that lesson laid a good foundation, and I’m hopeful about refining my skills further with his guidance. If you’re thinking about giving pickleball lessons a try, Kirk’s a pretty solid option to consider.

About Ryan

Hey there! I’m a passionate golfer with 20+ years of experience, and I’m currently a 3 handicap. It’s crazy to think I’ve been at it this long, but I genuinely love the game and want to share what I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you improve your swing, shave strokes off your score, and most importantly—make your time on the course more fun and rewarding! I played competitive golf back in high school and have mostly been playing recreationally lately, but I’m working toward becoming a PGA professional someday. So far, I’ve mainly helped friends fine-tune their games, but I’m ready to branch out and work with other golfers too. Whether you’re fighting a wicked slice, struggling to escape the sand in one shot, or just looking to fine-tune your fundamentals, I’d love to help you out. Let’s hit the range, work on your game, and start lowering those scores together!

What students say...

"Ryan did an absolutely incredible job being thorough and explaining everything to me. I’ve had many coaches over the years and Ryan could see and simplify what really needed fixing. 10/10 recommend him to anyone at any skill level.

About Eric

*Indoor court rentals available for $25!* After a lifetime in tennis (and ping pong, badminton, squash) I was finally bitten by the pickleball bug and my passion for the sport has only grown. My beginner students can expect a fun learning environment in a casual setting. For those looking to up their game, power strokes, volley smashes and vicious spins are a session away. Intermediate player looking to refine their game? Let’s get drilling. I’ll happily rally and match play with you after. Regardless of your goals, let’s get out there and pickle!

What students say...

"Eric paced the lesson calmly, laying a solid foundation and making basics easy to grasp, with a clear focus on slow, steady progress and a hint of momentum. Lesson highlighted kept me moving forward.
