These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I’m a natural athlete who believes that age brings wisdom, enhancing my approach to sports. Pickleball, to me, is as much about mental strategy as it is about skill. My teaching style is fun and easygoing, which helps others enjoy the game while improving. Ranked around a 4.0 I often surprise opponents with my power and precise placement on the court.
"Excellent and thoughtful approach to overall lesson.

I dove into the world of Pickleball over six years ago. Driven by my immense love for the sport, I decided to share my passion by becoming a PPR certified pickleball instructor. Several of my students have medaled in tournaments and have finished on the top of their pickleball league. Weather is never an issue, I have three private indoor courts. I’m also available for corporate team building events.
"Great coach and even better teacher. Quickly identifies areas needed and addresses them through repetition. Lots of positive reinforcement and makes the training session fun.

With 65 years immersed in golf, including time as a tour pro, I tailor instruction to each student. My approach combines technical expertise with video analysis and a deep understanding of the game's nuances. I'm passionate about helping you achieve your golfing goals. I’ve coached beginning golfers, college scholarship winners and the winner of the Senior US Open champion Gene Sauers. I’ve also enjoyed the honor to serve the USO by performing my trick shot show for our troops and the distinguished honor of performing for the retirement party for the Joint Chief of Staff General Myers.

I’ve been playing pickleball for 3 years and have spent the past 2 years with VCU’s pickleball club, serving as a captain both years. I’ve led practice drills and worked individually with teammates on form, technique, positioning, and identifying areas they can improve. I especially enjoy breaking down technique in a way that’s easy to understand and adapting how I teach based on the player. Whether you’re completely new to pickleball or an intermediate player looking to clean up your game, my goal is to help you understand not just what to change, but why it works. As I build my student base on TeachMe.To, I’m offering introductory rates for my first students — a great opportunity to get personalized coaching at a lower starting price.
"Cai offered to play music during this lesson, which added a fun element to an already fun time! He has been great about keeping things just on the edge of my ability level so I'm always challenged but not overwhelmed, and gently encourages me to notice & work on where I can take on harder shots. I'm really enjoying my lessons & the game overall. Thanks Cai!

Hi. My name is Morgan "Coach Quinn". I've been playing Pickleball since 2016. In 2018, I started helping people learn this great sport by developing a comprehensive beginners class. In 2021 I became a PCI instructor, and in 2022 I became a IPTPA Certified Instructor. In 2021, I established a free group for beginners to play, allowing you to continue learning after taking my classes. Additionally, I also constructed my own picklball court in my yard to assist you in improving your skills at a time that suits your schedule. I look forward to helping you learn Pickleball.
"What a solid lesson. Morgan’s clear guidance on how to play and the instruction on rules and techniques gave us confidence as total beginners. We left ready to play a game and continue improving. Thanks for the fun and detailed lesson.

I work primarily with ages 13 and up (the oldest has been 80), but have taught a few that were younger. I spend time with you initially learning what basic parts of the game you need to work on (accuracy and consistency). From there we can progress to game strategy, stroke mechanics, etc. The goal will be to get in some good work, but have fun doing it! I am a USA PIckleball Ambassador and work with Special Olympics (coach, referee, unified partner) as well as The Autism Society and Sportable.
