Hi, I’m Saraa! I’ve been hooked on pickleball since 2021, and I play competitively at the 4.0–4.5 level (soon to be 4.5–5.0!). My true passion, though, is coaching adult beginners and helping people fall in love with this amazing sport. My coaching style is all about keeping things fun while building real skills and strategy. I believe in learning by playing, cheering each other on, and letting passion lead the way. Whether your goal is to keep up with friends, join a league, or just enjoy a new hobby, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there. One of my favorite things about pickleball is how welcoming it is—anyone can jump in and play, no matter their athletic background. Yet at the same time, there’s always room to improve and challenge yourself. Plus, the community is second to none—you’ll leave the court with new friends and a big smile. My go-to shot is the two-handed backhand drive (the “twoie”), and right now I’m working on nailing my backhand roll. Fun fact: I grew up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—home of Selkirk Sport—so I’ll always be a Selkirk girl at heart!
"Getting more comfortable with the volley and serve, I think Saraa's lesson really helped fine-tune those parts of my game, and I'm hopeful about perfecting my skills further.

"Ryan was a great coach for my two daughters who just started golfing. His knowledge of the important fundamentals and his ability to teach them was very good. Even more impressive was his patience and kind demeanor which for two young children makes all the difference in developing a passion and the enjoyment of the sport. When your 8 year old celebrates with high fives all around after making her first one-putt on her first ever golf outing, you know you’ve made a great decision with Ryan.

"Jason gave lessons to my husband and I and was patient, had very helpful tips and seemed to genuinely want us to get better. His approach was perfect for us, as we are getting back to the sport after a long break. His experience shows and he has been able to break that down into easy to understand teaching points and techniques. We'll be booking more lessons! Thanks, Jason!
