Private Pickleball Lessons & Coaches in North Tustin, CA

With over two decades of recreational tennis and ping pong experience, coupled with two years immersed in the world of Pickleball, I've cultivated a deep passion for racket sports. Transitioning into coaching, I've discovered a profound love for Pickleball and pursued full-time certification as a PPR instructor. My goal is simple: to share my enthusiasm for the sport and instill proper techniques, guiding players to their fullest potential on the Pickleball court.

"The lesson with Steve was quite helpful in highlighting some new shot placements, though I still have a bit of work to do on consistency. I appreciate the straightforward feedback, and I’m hopeful that with more practice, I can improve further. Still, it’s good to see progress, and I think trying another lesson could be beneficial.

Pickleball has become my passion, and I love sharing that passion with others. I've been teaching for years, and it brings me joy to see my students develop their skills and love for the game.

"Addison is an observant coach who offers timely feedback and custom-made recommendations on how to build off players' strengths. I’m excited to learn how to level up as a singles competitor.

I’ve been playing pickleball for 6+ years with a strong tennis background, and what started as a fun hobby quickly became something I really care about. I play at a 4.5 level and love helping others to play stronger, move better, feel more confidant, and actually enjoy the game on a deeper level. To me, improving in pickleball is more than just skill, it’s freedom. The freedom to move, compete, express yourself, and have a whole lot of fun. My only goal is to help you get it

"After five lessons with Alex, we’ve built a solid foundation on fundamentals like footwork, shot placement, backhands, and situational serve variations. The biggest improvements I’ve noticed are in my serving and dinking. I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned directly in challenge court play—my serves feel more effective and help set up points better, and I’ve become less predictable overall. I’m also starting to think through points more instead of just reacting. Alex has a great eye for mechanics. In our last session on movement and positioning, he helped simplify a few habits that were making me overcomplicate things. His drills are practical and translate well into real match situations. I’m very happy with my progress so far and would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to elevate their game.

I’m a former USTA 4.0+ tennis player and current 4.5 DUPR pickleball player who has transitioned into coaching with a strong passion for helping others improve. With my tennis background, I bring a strong understanding of strategy, footwork, and shot mechanics that naturally translates into pickleball instruction. I’m fully dedicated to teaching pickleball and enjoy working with players of all levels, whether they’re just starting out or looking to sharpen their competitive game. My goal is to create a fun, supportive environment while helping players build confidence and improve their skills on the court.
