I’ve been playing pickleball for five years and coaching for four. I play almost everyday, and I play regularlyin tournaments. My dupr is currently 4.5. I play mostly in Northern Virginia and DC. I am closely connected to the local pickleball community. Sports have always been a core part of my life—historically basketball, soccer, and table tennis; now pickleball has emerged as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.
"Great family lesson for our 2 kids and my husband and I. Paul communicated well ahead of time and showed up with all the equipment we needed. He adjusted the lesson perfectly for the kids and adults together. Thanks Coach Paul!
