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.

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.

"After four years of playing pickleball, I finally understand what good coaching can do. My first lesson with Bill Brown was honestly transformational. I’m on the verge of tears of happiness thinking about how much progress I made in just one session. Bill is patient and has a gift for explaining body mechanics in memorable ways that immediately click. We worked on my backhand returns, drives, and dinks. I realized I had been doing many of the fundamentals incorrectly, and Bill made each correction easy to understand and apply. By the end of the lesson, I was finally starting to develop the feel for a proper backhand drive after struggling with it for four years. I only wish I had taken a lesson with Bill three or four years ago. It would have saved me years of frustration and bad habits. I look forward to my next lesson and feel more confident heading into my next tournament. I highly recommend Bill to anyone who wants to improve their game.
