"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.

Hi, my name is Chris, and I’ve been playing pickleball for over 3 years with a strong passion for both competition and coaching. I’ve competed at a high level, including the Collegiate National Pickleball Tournament, after earning a bid to qualify. I focus on helping players improve fundamentals, strategy, and confidence, whether they are beginners or more advanced players. My coaching emphasizes clear instruction, game-like drills, and skills that transfer directly to match play. I bring a positive, energetic approach to every lesson and aim to make each session fun, productive, and motivating, helping players enjoy the game while improving quickly.

"Chris is a great coach. I’m a beginner and we focused on just a couple things so I wouldn’t have too many thoughts in my head. He broke down my movements and had me focus on fixing just one thing at a time. I’m a work in progress, but a little less so. More lessons will make me better! PS. This app sent us to a park with no courts and their customer service is…poor. Chris and I found another court a mile awayourselves. Again, he’s 5 stars. The app, 1.

I picked up the guitar after hearing Blink-182 live and knew instantly it was what I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve written well over 100 songs and played my way through styles ranging from rock ’n’ roll and metal to pop, punk, and blues. What I love most about teaching is seeing that moment when everything clicks and the guitar becomes more than just practice, it becomes passion. My goal is to make learning feel easy, so every student leaves not just with skills, but with a love for the instrument.

"I grew up around music, my dad played but I felt weird asking him to teach… he’s way too strict. Found Mitch and he was very pleasing to work with. I can now play and I know all the chords and some scales. He gives a lot of homework and wants you to practice. He can be strict but he knows what he’s doing.

As a former captain of the college golf team at Princeton University, my passion for the sport has taken me on a remarkable journey.
