“Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.”Chuck D., studentAbout GregOver 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated

About RobinHi there! After years of playing tennis, baseball, and golf, I switched to pickleball and I’ve been hooked ever since. Today, I play at a high level and absolutely love helping others fall in love with the game and level up their skills. I’m a highly technical, detail-oriented coach. I love breaking down the mechanics of a shot so you understand exactly how to execute it perfectly.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, an intermediate looking to smooth out your game, or an advanced player refining your edge, we’ll work on exactly what you need. From mastering the soft game to hitting powerful topspin drives and rolls, dialing in court positioning, and learning winning strategies, I’ve got you covered. Plus, I build a personalized plan for every student so we can track your progress and keep you moving forward. We can also videotape our sessions so you watch the session later.

“Sean is very clear with his instructions. He explains exactly what you need to know without being overly verbose and demonstrates well. Some people spend so much time explaining that you don't get much chance to practice, but Sean provides the right balance. If you mess up, he doesn't immediately stop you to re-explain because he understands you need to keep practicing before you can do what he said. Some people keep stopping you to keep re-explaining, preventing you from continuing to try to actually do what they instructed. Sean is good about letting you know what you did right and *how* you did something wrong. He always provides encouraging feedback.”Claire G., student
About SeanHi, I’m Coach Sean! I’m a patient, encouraging pickleball coach who helps beginners and intermediate players build confidence and develop strong fundamentals.
My lessons are fun, supportive, and personalized to your goals. I offer both individual and group lessons, creating an engaging environment where players can learn, practice, and improve together. I break each skill down into simple steps and provide clear, practical feedback so you understand not only what to do, but why it works. We can work on serving, returns, groundstrokes, volleys, kitchen play, court positioning, doubles strategy, and overall consistency.
I enjoy coaching kids, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Whether you have never picked up a paddle, are learning with a group, or want to take your game to the next level, I’ll meet you where you are and help you make noticeable progress while enjoying the process.
