11 Pickleball coaches & instructors for lessons in Julian, CA

I started playing pickleball 3 years ago and I play almost every day in advanced level open play and ladder sessions. I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to go from not knowing how to play to being a solid pickup player who can play in advanced level games. I still know exactly what it’s like to be a brand new beginner and trying to figure out the game especially all the rules. My coaching style is easygoing and I try to keep the lessons light hearted so everyone feels welcome and comfortable. I like to use a mix of drills and gameplay with real time instruction and feedback during my lessons. A group of 3 or 4 students makes for a great class because I can play a doubles game with you while teaching you how the game works. I can also advise you on equipment, where to play, what apps to download to find games and leagues, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

"I’ve enjoyed working with Chris and he’s very good providing feedback and recommendations. Thanks Chris.

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!

My name is Zach Tone and I am senior at San Diego State University! I am the president of the pickleball club there, and play competitively in collegiate tournaments around the country. I have taught over 100 students the sport, and I have a passion for helping people get better. I also work with the National Collegiate Pickleball Association in order to find high quality coaches for junior leagues!

"I just started playing a couple months ago, and I’m hooked. I’m friends with Zach’s mom, and she told me to take a couple lessons with him. Let me tell you he is so caring and passionate about helping others get better. He makes the lessons fun, and my game has gotten better already!

I have a passion for helping players improve on and off court; Pickleball can also teach us great life lessons! I want to empower other women, and am dedicated to bringing a learning mindset towards your goals. I recently won a local tournament in San Diego and my mission is to make this incredible sport accessible to everyone, whether you want to pay recreationally or are ready to try a tournament. Whether you're a casual player or an aspiring competitor, I can help you elevate your game. We can cover the basics as you develop a love of the game or we can do drills and incorporate some game play analysis. Let me know and I'll tailor it around your needs. Thanks for considering me as a coach!

" Ann is a competitive player and a good teacher. She brought my wife and her friends into the game and now we all love playing this sport a few times a week. It's become an addiction and we can't get enough of it. Ann makes it fun to practice and refine shots too. She will tailor lessons to your skill level and interests if you know what you want to work on.

Unlocking your pickleball potential is my specialty. With 5 years of coaching, I provide tailored instruction, fostering both skill and a love for the game. Certified in both IPTPA (International Pickleball Teaching Prof Association) and DUPR (dynamic universal pickleball rating), I coach students the skills, shot making and strategies to elevate their game.

"An avid golfer for 40 years, I started pickleball casually about a year ago thinking that it would give me something to do in the evenings (we have lighted courts). It quickly became an obsession. Coach Kevin taught me the basics, then the not-so-basics, then finally the strategies and IQ of the game. I am in love. I would rank pickleball now at the same level of passion as golf for me!

Driven by a passion for pickleball and six years of experience on the court, I'm excited to share my love for this dynamic sport. As an experienced player, I provide engaging and tailored instruction to help you elevate your game, no matter your current skill level. Let's have some fun while building your confidence and pickleball prowess!

"Great coaching ability and lessons plans very well balanced; he does change them when you want to focus on something specific that day. Will let you add an extra hour of lesson at a discount.
