Hi, I'm Coach Henry. Before diving into my background, I want to share my passion for coaching. I am dedicated to helping players refine their game and discover their own love for the sport. As a 4.5 rated Pickleball player with more than a year under my belt, I've built upon my history as a former 5.0 tennis player. I decided to switch to PB for a change of pace and soon made my mark by winning multiple tournaments at the 3.5 level. Our lessons will thoroughly cover both the forehand and backhand techniques, always emphasizing the critical importance of a correct follow-through. Join me, and together we'll ensure you have the skills and confidence to compete with anyone on the court!
"I’d say Henry’s lesson was quite focused and helpful, especially with opportunities for improvement in mind. The emphasis on form and problem areas was pretty clear, and I feel more confident about sharpening those skills. Though I still need to work on a few specifics, it’s encouraging to see steady progress. Still, I might try a couple more lessons to really hone in on those details.

Having honed my craft over three decades, I'm passionate about fostering a love for basketball in every student. My coaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation of fundamental skills while nurturing each player's individual talents and building lasting relationships with those I coach. I have done most of my coaching at the high school level, for both boys and girls. On the individual training level, I have been working for 13 years with a huge range of players from 3rd grade students all the way up to NBA All-Stars.

Grew up playing tennis and racquetball, so making the transition was easy. I have been playing for 5 years and won a championship on a recent cruise. I love the Pickleball game and enjoy playing and teaching others how to play!
"Bill is quite good at making the learning process feel approachable, and his patience really stood out during the lesson, especially since he explains things in a relatable way. Though I think more serve practice and additional info could make the lessons even better, I still left feeling more confident on the court. Still, if you're looking to improve your game with someone who's easy to work with, Bill's worth trying out.

I’m a coach, basketball dad, and former varsity head coach who knows exactly what programs expect. With 20+ years in the game—and two sons I personally train (an incoming senior and an 8th grader)—I’ve lived every angle of the journey. Both are known in the basketball community for their game and growth. I train players to think sharper, move smarter, and compete with real confidence. Let’s build skill, IQ, and presence—because the game notices who’s ready.
"“Coach Jason has helped me focus on the things that matter as I get ready for high school ball — effort, decision-making, and body language. He’s coached at the varsity level, so he knows exactly what high school coaches are looking for. I just completed my incoming HS camp last week and my new coaches complimented me on my approach to basketball. My confidence is high right now!”

I’ve been training for about 2 years now. I don’t train the same for every kid. I look for what the kids actually need help with including jump training, ball handling, shooting and whatever else they need to improved their game. I played college and also in the ABA currently.
