Private Lessons & Coaches in Lansdale, PA

I remember first hearing about the game from a family friend a few years back. I then saw some matches and thought this is an easy game made for senior citizens. I learned real fast how foolish I was. I went to a local park to try it out for the first time and took to it quickly. Gaining false confidence from this I was asked by some regulars to join them. Thinking to myself that it would not be hard to defeat some senior citizens and move on to some more competitive play with people closer in age and abilities. Let me tell you when I say these regulars showed me no mercy. They were hitting shots by me and blocking my hard drives right back. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that I could barely muster a point against them. It didn’t matter who I played. Men, Women, Young, & Old, all had a turn in taking advantage of me. With my pride bruised & battered and thoroughly humbled by my beating, I vowed from that day on to NEVER be beaten by another grandma again lol 😂 . In all seriousness I fell in love with the game and have been addicted ever since. I’ve dedicated myself to getting better and showing others the joy that is Pickleball. It brings me great pleasure in helping others get better and achieving their goals. The hours spent helping friends and family and practicing is equally as enjoyable as playing it myself. The biggest treasure is teaching my eldest of 3 boys the game and playing with him. Hopefully I will be able to share the love and passion for the game with others. “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”, is what they say, right!

"Minh is a great & patient teacher

Hello, I'm John Philip, originally from The Caribbean. I hold a master's degree in accounting from college. For over 35 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching tennis professionally, earning certification as a USPTR Professional 1. My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.

"The lesson with John was quite helpful, especially in working on my serve and return. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciated how he explained some of the court positioning, which made a noticeable difference. Still, I’m hoping the next lesson can focus a bit more on footwork to improve that aspect. If you're looking for someone who’s attentive and makes effort to clarify technique, you might find John worth trying.

"Matt helped me reframe my understanding of proper technique, approach, and strategy. His tips have improved my game.

With a background in competitive table tennis, I transitioned to competitive pickleball three years ago and haven't looked back. As a tournament player, I’m fascinated by the diverse athletic backgrounds that pickleball players bring to the court. I believe there's no single correct way to play; instead, players can leverage their unique strengths to develop their own style. I’m excited to help you enhance your pickleball game by building on your existing skills and talents.

"Today was my last lesson with Zach. After 3 months of lessons with Zach, my skill level has improved dramatically and I have met my goal. Zach is an amazing coach and highly recommend him.

With a decade on the court, I bring experience from competitive play to every lesson. In high school, I played Varsity Tennis, then in college was club team captain. I coached high school level players between NTRP 2-4.5 but am open to all ages! I help students of all levels discover their potential and ignite a passion for tennis. My approach is both strategic and fun, focused on building a solid foundation.

"I'm feeling pretty good about my progress in the lesson, especially since Edmond really helped clarify some key points. Though, he did mention keeping at it before it gets too cold, which makes sense. I think the lesson was quite helpful, especially with focusing on my stance and swing. Still, I’m hopeful there’ll be more on footwork in future sessions. If you're after steady, practical advice, Edmond's worth trying out.
