I am Lucca Leal, a Brazilian college student athlete at the University of Mobile, who loves to play and teach tennis at any time. I would like to pass my knowledge and passion for the sport to my students so they can have a good time just like I do. I have been coaching tennis for almost 3 years to kids, teenagers, and adults at beginner and intermediate levels. In the summer of 2024, I worked at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, New York, where I had the opportunity to coach several people. On my college campus, I give weekly lessons to kids aged 9. In addition, I have also helped students and teammates with strategy-focused and hitting sessions. I am extremely dedicated, persistent, patient, and professional. Most importantly, I love to help people and I will do my best to help you with your tennis goals. Finally, in my lessons, I tend to focus a lot on technique and tactics by passing on the knowledge that I acquire in my college environment, but always prioritizing your entertainment and enjoyment.

As a passionate pickleball enthusiast and experienced tennis coach, I bring deep understanding of strategy, technique, and player development to the game.

If you are thinking about learning to play the fastest growing sport in the nation, but are hesitant to begin, read this short bio of our most popular Rhode Island instructor, Coach Phyl. Her experience and coaching style can help to ease your concerns. Hello and welcome! I’m Coach Phyl, and I am so glad you’re here. Let me tell you a little about why I love to work with beginning pickleball players. Pickleball is life, and I mean that literally. I took up the sport just as the Covid pandemic was shifting into high gear. It was the one thing I could do, despite my advanced age, while lockdown was beginning to happen all around me. It got me off the couch and moving, which I believe saved me from losing my mind, my passion for life, and my muscles, such as they are. It was kismet. I quickly recognized how similar the movements and strategies were to a game called Ace King Queen that I had played as a child. I loved and missed that game. Pickleball felt almost like finding it again. I fell in love with it immediately, not only for the game itself, but also for the social void it filled. Pickleball has brought many wonderful people into my life while providing me with a fun way to stay active during my “golden” years. I am filled with gratitude for all that it gives me, and I want to share these benefits with as many people as I can. We will have fun while you learn and practice new drills and skills. Pickleball is a multi-tiered sport that can be played by just about anyone. There is no better way to learn the basics than through in-person coaching. My teaching style is relaxed and non-confrontational. You will learn the rules of the game, proper warm-up techniques, paddle basics, a variety of strokes, serving options, targeting, timing, and the importance of drilling, with a few advanced strategies thrown in for good measure. As I like to say, just do it! There's no time like the present, so join me. See you on the court! Speaking of courts… While I am willing to travel to other courts, I encourage you to choose the courts at the John H. Chafee Sports Complex at 450 Hope Road in Western Cranston. These courts are well maintained and easy to get to. I love playing there, and I think you will, too. That said, if the weather calls for rain or otherwise is not in a cooperative mood (think wind, intense heat, snow, etc.), then a good choice would be the private indoor court at Open Table.

"Phyllis was very nice and patient. Also very methodical and thorough in her approach in teaching the rules. Great experience with her! But I don't think this sport is for me at this time. I am very grateful for getting the opportunity to learn from Phyllis!

I’m a recent graduate of Trinity College, where I competed as a collegiate golfer while continuing to refine my skills and passion for the game. I previously trained at IMG Academy and have competed in four World Amateur Golf Ranking events, giving me the opportunity to test my abilities against top amateur talent. For the past three years, I’ve also been teaching golf, helping players of all ages develop their games while deepening my own understanding of the sport. A fun highlight of my golfing journey includes recording two albatrosses and two hole-in-one’s, milestones that continue to fuel my passion for the game.
