Private Lessons & Coaches in Skokie, IL
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I grew my love for the beautiful game playing in AYSO on the lakefront before moving on to play club soccer with Chicago Fire Juniors, Chicago City Soccer Club. I played D3 soccer at The College of Wooster, and since graduating I have still been very involved in the game. I coached with Surf Soccer Club while living in California for 2 years after graduating, before moving back home to Chicago and reuniting with my old club Chicago City as a coach/analyst.

"I have been working with the FXW School for the past two years to introduce and develop pickleball for their junior players. We consistently see a fantastic turnout, with up to 20 kids participating per session. While the students generally start as beginners, many are incredibly fast learners. We focus on blending skill-building with fun games, and after just a few sessions each term, the players successfully transition into competitive match play. It continues to be a highly successful program, and I look forward to getting them back on the court for the next session.
