I specialize in skilled positions, with a focus on wide receiver and tight end.

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.

My name is Colin Glavas, and I've always had a passion for basketball. I have played for elite organizations like Boo Williams and Team Loaded throughout my high school career. In my hometown, I helped run basketball camps for elementary, middle, and high school students, and trained many local kids in my neighborhood. I also spent a year as an assistant coach for Hampton Roads Academy. I was an assistant for both the middle school and varsity boys teams.

I grew up in a basketball environment always playing with my brothers and dad. I held my first basketball camp for neighborhood kids at age 11. Through my high school career I helped coach younger players and reffed youth basketball leagues. I went on to play four years of college basketball (NWAC, NJCAA, and NCAA DIII), each year contributing to record setting seasons for the school. My focus in training is to build on the fundamentals of shot form, ball handling, and footwork.
