About Janette

Five years ago, during the pandemic, I began playing pickleball regularly, quickly falling in love with the sport. Over the past two years, I've immersed myself in the game, playing, drilling, and competing in tournaments up to four times per week. While unofficially coaching beginners during this time, my passion for pickleball has grown immensely, driving me to train towards becoming a senior pickleball professional. Currently rated around 4.1 on the DUPR rating scale, I actively participate in advanced tournaments, aiming to elevate my skills further on the path to achieving my professional goals. As a medical doctor, I see pickleball as embodying the values of health, happiness, and community, and I'm eager to share these aspects of the game with others.

What students say...

"Very positive and encouraging teaching new skills or concepts.

About Vince

I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions years ago until interrupted by the Covid pandemic. We were able to start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base. For the last few years, I have continued with private training sessions at local recreation areas, parks and at résidences.

What students say...

"Really enjoyed my lesson! It was upbeat and the tips were incredibly helpful. Vince is very friendly and gives clear guidance on how to improve.

About Timothy

From an experienced school teacher to a 4.5 rated Pickleball instructor, I've transitioned my dedication for teaching into a new athletic arena. With over 3 decades of tennis playing and coaching under my belt, including a two-year stint at Mesa College, I bring a rich and diverse experience to my coaching. My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5. Currently, I am currently a Pro-Certified instructor with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) to further strengthen my Pickleball coaching credentials. Despite my newfound passion for Pickleball, I still teach tennis, integrating the best of both sports into my training approach. Together, let's work on boosting your skills and raising your game!

What pickleball coaches in El Cajon, California can help you work on

Private pickleball lessons in El Cajon are built around your goals. Whatever you want to improve, a coach can focus each session on it. Here are the areas coaches in El Cajon work on most.

Dinking and the soft game

Win at the kitchen line with controlled dinks, resets, and patience. El Cajon coaches build the soft game that decides most pickleball points.

Serve and return depth

Start each point on the front foot with a deep serve and return. A coach in El Cajon works on consistency, depth, and placement off both shots.

Third-shot drop and strategy

Master the third-shot drop and the transition to the net. Pickleball coaches in El Cajon teach when to drop, when to drive, and how to take the line.

Volleys, putaways, and net play

Speed up the game, defend the body, and finish points at the net. El Cajon coaches sharpen your hands, reaction time, and shot selection up front.

Footwork, positioning, and doubles

Move as a team, cover the middle, and stay in the right spot on the court. Pickleball coaches in El Cajon drill footwork and doubles strategy.

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18

Parents welcome at every pickleball lesson

Parents are welcome to stay and watch — many do, especially with younger kids — but it is never required. Either way, your coach shares progress and what to practice between lessons.
