About AkshayWhat started as a love for the game quickly turned into something more — a passion for teaching it. I’m a certified pickleball instructor who has competed and thrived at the highest competitive levels, earning 5.0 tournament victories and stepping onto the court against top-25 PPA professionals.
That experience playing against the best in the game isn’t just a cool story, I have felt the pace, the strategy, and the pressure of elite-level pickleball firsthand, and brings all of that to every lesson and clinic.
Whether you’re just picking up a paddle for the first time or grinding to break into the 4.0+ ranks, I meet you exactly where you are. The goal is simple: help you have more fun, win more points, and fall in love with this game the same way it happened for me.

By the end of the lesson, we were all laughing, rallying, and already planning our next family pickleball outing.”Angelina R., parent · shared by Sydney
