Peter embarked on a pickleball journey in July 2023 following a period of personal challenges. Introduced to the sport by a friend, pickleball quickly became a cornerstone of Peter's life, facilitating a remarkable 37-pound weight loss and reigniting a sense of passion and purpose. With a strong foundation in tennis, soccer, and ping pong, Peter seamlessly transitioned to pickleball, now leveraging this experience to help newcomers jumpstart their own love affair with the sport, promoting health, happiness, and community along the way.

My first coaching experience would be with F.C. Stars. I would help run various training camps and other similar programs, along with serving as an assistant coach to some of the younger age groups. I also have gained much experience working as a teacher/tutor at Kumon and the Russian School of Mathematics. Most recently, I finished a fantastic fall season with Challenger in the Mass area while doing private coaching with Dribbler on the side. My playing experience peaks at D1 soccer as a striker. I am currently trying to get back into playing and play locally semi-pro.
"My son really enjoyed learning from Rebonto. Also he has been really flexible with scheduling classes
Rebonto
I fell in love with tennis at age 10 or 11. It quickly became the thing I cared most about for the better part of my life. It is a sport for a lifetime, and it will always be my first love. I started teaching tennis in 2011 after earning my teaching certification with the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR). It’s always fun to introduce a new player to this game or to work with a player who is passionate about tennis and wants to learn more. I look forward to meeting new students and sharing my passion for tennis with them.
"What really stood out during the lesson was Cate’s patience and excellent teaching style with my son. The session was well-paced and clear, making it easy for him to follow along. I’d recommend Cate’s lessons to anyone looking to improve their tennis skills in a supportive environment. Looking forward to more great sessions ahead! 🎾
Cate
I base training from these 4 anchors: 1. Athletic Development -> footwork patterns, reaction time, agility 2. Stroke Mechanics -> correcting technical inefficiencies 3. Spatial Judgement/Ball Tracking -> how to track the ball and judge spacing 4. Strategy/Tactics -> how to exploit opponents
"Great advice on groundstroke mechanics!
