"James makes it easy to understand what to improve on hit by hit. Highly enjoyable and educational session!
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!
"Actually got to play 3 games with Mike as my partner today, amazing fun and great guidance
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.
"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.
I’m the Court Pro at Arrowood Golf Course and Director of Youth Programming at Melba Bishop. I also run a pickleball events company. I’m the person you want to work with.
"What a fun and friendly guy! And very knowledgeable about the game, the strategy, the techniques, and the equipment! After just 2 lessons, I felt Zak had imparted a huge amount of knowledge to my boyfriend and I, and immediately improved our skills. I would definitely recommend him!
As a tournament player with over 5 years of experience coaching, I have honed my skills and expertise in teaching pickleball. With years of lessons under top professionals, I am eager to help you boost your confidence through engaging drills and personalized instruction. I will spend the extra time and details to get you improved results !

"Joulie is knowledgeable in the sport. She is very patient and explained the rules thoroughly.
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!

"Ivan helped me perfect my skills.
Hi, I’m Jamie! Pickleball runs in my family—my dad’s a pro instructor, and he was the one who first got me hooked back in Florida. Fast forward to today, I’m a 4.5 player based in San Diego, playing in tournaments and hitting the courts several times a week to drill and grow my game. I’m all about focused practice, fun energy, and helping players level up through smart, intentional reps. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen specific skills, I’d love to help you play more confidently—and have a great time doing it!
"Rolled volleys, forehand drives, dinks with pace
As an experienced player, I'm passionate about sharing my love for this dynamic sport and helping you elevate your game.

I've always enjoyed working with kids and giving them lots of encouragement to help them reach their goals. In the past I have worked as a teacher's assistant in a special education class, worked as a camp counselor, coached youth soccer, and helped take care of my nieces and nephews. It's always great to see kids learn and develop new skills while having fun!
Coach Jamie
pickleball coach
When I teach kids, my number one goal is to make the experience fun and playful while still introducing proper form and good habits early on. I use games, mini-challenges, and lots of movement to keep them engaged and smiling the whole time. I focus on simple goals, quick wins, and making sure every child leaves feeling successful and excited to come back. Positive energy, patience, and encouragement are at the heart of every lesson.
