About Ethan

I'm an avid pickleball enthusiast, playing regularly about twice a week. While I primarily focus on singles play, I also enjoy the world of doubles. What sets me apart is my advocacy for playing pickleball with disabilities, as I personally use a prosthetic device. My mission is to teach pickleball in a loving and accepting way, demonstrating that this sport can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their condition. Let's hit the court and celebrate the inclusivity of pickleball together!

About Peter

Master the court one Stroke at a Time - Specializing in Singles Strategy, Doubles Dynamics and Clean Confident technique. Unleash your Inner Pickleball Pro with focused singles training, Doubles IQ and Technical Precision. With a playful strategy and meticulous technique, I guide players to victory on the court. My years of teaching pickleball and winning tournaments offers students tailored expertise. The majority of the coaches concentrate on doubles and general ball striking teaching technique but not in singles play. There is a certain feeling of accomplishment when winning in singles. As an IPTPA Certified Coach and participant in PPA and APP tournaments I believe I can help with specific play and strategy unique to singles but not only. Let's elevate your game with skill and fun!

What students say...

Coach Peter provided clear and actionable feedback, which greatly enhanced my technique and confidence. The drills were fun and effective, helping me see immediate progress in my game. I appreciate the supportive environment, which made learning enjoyable. If you're looking to elevate your pickleball skills, I highly recommend Coach Peter.

About Bill

Fueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.

What students say...

"Bill is patient and objective in his coaching style so it is always very comfortable working with him. Great at observing movements that need to be corrected. He is actively involved in the coaching session.
