With a great background as an instructor and a player, Max brings his expertise and passion to the court, helping you to improve your Pickleball game. Max Johnson was born and raised in the Johnson County area with a passion for sports. In 2020, Max found the incredible sport of Pickleball. His pickleball passion grew quickly and before he knew it, he was playing everyday for multiple hours. Along the way he decided to show others; teaching friends, family, and now everyone under the sun.

"The lesson with Max really helped improve my dinking and overheads, and I also focused on my footwork which was pretty helpful. Still, I think adding more power to my game would make a big difference, so I’m hoping to work on that in future lessons. It’s encouraging to see progress though, and I’ll definitely try to build on what we covered.
