10 coaches & instructors for lessons in Athol, MA

I'm a sports enthusiast who discovered a passion for pickleball in late 2022 after years of playing recreational tennis. Since then, I've fallen in love with the game and play almost every day. As a PPR Certified instructor and Six Zero Ambassador, I regularly drill and continually seek to improve my skills. As a 4.0 player, I'm dedicated to teaching others, helping them enhance their game, and spreading the joy of pickleball.

"The lesson with Larry was quite helpful, especially his helpful feedback and patience with applications. Though I think more technical details about shot mechanics would add to the learning, I’m hopeful that future lessons will cover this area as well. Still, I feel like I gained a good understanding of the basics, and it’s made me more confident in my game. If you're interested in steadily improving, Larry might be worth trying out.

Pickleball has stolen my heart since the moment I picked up a paddle.

I'm ecstatic to spread my love for the game by helping beginners of all levels learn the basics, drilling techniques and most importantly having an absolute blast on the court! Let's rally together, embrace the joy of pickleball and make memories that'll last a lifetime!
