“The lesson was quite helpful and my son seemed to really enjoy it and is looking forward to his next lesson.”Carmen N., parent

About NickHi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading to a head Varsity tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game.
Unlike many other coaches I earned a California State Bachelors degree which included a fifth year California State Teaching Credential. This training has given me the special skills to teach and coach my students at all levels of the game. It’s my passion.
I recently won the Gold Medal 🏅in the Mixed Doubles at the Tri-Valley Pickle Ball Championships.Go to profile
“It was only our first session but I learned so much!!”Michael M., student

About JoshuaHi I'm Joshua Tam! I coach focusing on decision-making, consistency and repeatable shots. I am a believer in that techniques like dinking, resetting, blocking are key to a strong pickleball foundation. These are my greatest strengths that have allowed me to do very well in high level money tournaments.

“I recently had a private pickleball lesson with Nic, Bekaert, and it was genuinely one of the best coaching experiences I've ever had. Nic focused our session on the kitchen game, specifically net volleys and dinking, and the improvement I felt was immediate. What sets him apart isn't just his elite-level knowledge; it's how he communicates it. He's a careful listener who takes the time to understand where you are as a player, and his explanations are clear, precise, and immediately actionable. The real test of any lesson is whether the coaching sticks when you're playing in real time, under pressure. So often, tips absorbed in a lesson evaporate the moment you step onto the court. Not with Nic. His strategies and cues are memorable and practical which is exactly the kind of instruction that translates into your game when it counts. Without question, Nic is the most effective coach I have ever worked with. If you have the opportunity to take a lesson with him, don't hesitate. -Chris B.”Chris B., student · shared by Nic

“As a complete beginner, I really enjoy Coach Logan’s class because it’s tailored to my skill level. The class starts with the fundamentals and gradually progresses as I improve. Coach Logan is very passionate and always gives me helpful tips on how to get better, even pointing out small details I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. After taking his class, I feel much more confident playing pickleball. Highly recommend!”Carrie, student

About LoganStuck at 2.5–3.5? I specialize in individualized pickleball lessons for players who want to break through their plateau and build a strong, reliable foundation.
Many players reach 2.5–3.5 simply by playing more. But eventually, experience alone stops working. Their shots stay inconsistent—and often they don’t understand why.
That’s where I come in.
Every lesson is customized to identify what is really holding your game back and rebuild the foundation behind it.
I don’t just teach HOW to hit a shot.
You’ll understand:
WHY the shot works
WHEN to use it
WHAT to do in different situations
HOW to execute it consistently
Even within the HOW, you’ll learn the principles behind the technique—not just copy a motion—so you can recognize mistakes, make adjustments, and improve independently.
My approach:
Assess → Understand → Fix → Practice → Apply
We focus only on what your game actually needs—whether that’s your serve, return, drive, drop, dink, reset, footwork, positioning, or shot selection.
New to pickleball? You’re welcome too. Build the right foundation from day one so you can progress faster and avoid habits that become harder to fix later.
