"Eric and I made such great progress within our first lesson together. His teaching style really clicked with my learning abilities and that was very helpful with the drills we were doing. I left with enough information and ideas on what I can work on during my own drilling sessions to help me move forward with this pickleball journey. He is patient, super knowledgeable, and gives great instant feedback.

When I picked up a paddle just 2.5 years ago, I had zero athletic background. No tennis, no racquetball, nothing. It was just me, a paddle, and the curiosity to see what this “pickleball game” was all about. Fast forward to today, and I’m now a 5.0+ DUPR rated player who has medaled in 14 out of 15 tournaments, including the PPA Tour. My most recent win was achieving gold at the 5.0 level. What sets me apart isn’t just the wins—it’s how I got there. I broke my left hand three years ago (yep, the one I use for everything), so I taught myself to play right handed. The result? I became a true two sides of the court player with a special knack for left side dominant play. Combine that with my experience partnering with left handed players, and I can give you unique strategies for lefty/righty pairings that most coaches are not aware of and never even considered. What I Specialize In: * Tournament Prep & Strategy – Building confidence through mental game prep, match tactics, and step-by-step planning. * Aggressive Topspin 3rd Shot Drops – Turning defense into offense is my bread and butter. Getting to the kitchen after the serve is my specialty * Two Handed Cross Court Dinks – Achieving consistency while adding aggressive top spin. * Left Side Domination & Partner Play – Maximizing strengths in duos with unique strategy. Especially powerful with lefty/righty duos. Why Work With Me? I know what it’s like to start from scratch and grind it out. I’ve built my game shot by shot, drill by drill, laugh by laugh. Now, I’m ready to share that journey with players of all levels—whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or gearing up for your next gold medal run. Pickleball is competitive, yes—but it’s also fun. With me, you’ll learn the strategies, level up your skills, and maybe even laugh at my bad jokes while doing it.

Sponsored Local Amateur Pro Coach Chris came from Sacramento CA and brought his energy and skills with him! Hailing from a storied family of educators - Chris was born to be a leader and role model. His natural connection with students paired with 7 years of experience as a coach/sports director across Pickleball, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, and Spikeball creates an environment that is both comfortable and potential-tapping.
"Wow, Chris's lesson truly stood out because he took the time to understand my goals, which I appreciated quite a bit. I felt much more confident in my ball control and although I still need to work on improving my top spin, I'm optimistic about applying what I learned. I’d highly recommend Chris for a lesson that will leave you better by the time you leave.

Frequently asked questions
What to expect when you take a Pickleball lesson in Davis
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Eric
pickleball coach
Advanced players typically want help with specific tactics, shots or strokes. As a result, we will most likely spend our lesson focused on a single stroke or skill, reviewing footage, making corrections where applicable and discussing how specific footwork limits available shots and decision making. For advanced first lessons, we would want to heavily rely on video feedback, using both in-game scenarios and practice sessions.

Non-marking court shoes, water and snacks, hats and sunglasses, your favorite paddle. Expect that I might ask you to try techniques or concepts that may be new to you. This is ok as a developing learner, I believe in you. :)
Coach Allen

I’ve got all the equipment covered, plus extra paddles, so there’s no need to bring any for the pickleball training.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Eric

Keep it very simple, using teaching games and fun activities for fast paced training sessions. My goal is to tire the kids out with engaging games while developing the solid foundations for any racquet / paddle sport including ball control, footwork and paddle skills.
