As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body.

Hi, I’m Coach Jason, a dedicated pickleball coach with 3 years of experience helping players of all levels improve their game, from beginners to competitive 4.0 players looking to sharpen their skills, strategy, and consistency. My coaching focuses on building a strong foundation that includes footwork, stroke mechanics, shot selection, court positioning and recognizing patterns. Encouragement is a big part of my coaching style. I believe players improve faster when they feel supported.

"I came to Jason with 3 years experience playing pickleball already so I wasn't sure how much a few coaching sessions could offer me at this stage. I was pleasantly surprised. Jason has a sharp eye for the finer details of the game, and he quickly identified habits in my technique that I didn't even know were holding me back. His feedback is specific, constructive, and easy to apply — I saw a noticeable improvement in my consistency and court positioning within just a few sessions. What I appreciated most was that he challenged me without ever making the sessions feel overwhelming. If you think you've outgrown beginner coaching, I'd encourage you to give Jason a chance — he absolutely has something to offer at every level.
