About Joshua

Hi I'm Joshua Tam! I coach focusing on decision-making, consistency and repeatable shots. I am a believer in that defensive techniques like dinking, resetting, blocking are key to a strong pickleball foundation. Just so happens, these are my greatest strengths that have allowed me to do very well in high level games. Whether you're brand new to pickleball or trying to break through a current level plateau (3.0-3.5-4.0), lessons are tailored to your specific needs! My personal tournament results include 2nd place in 4.0. 4th in 4.5, and 2nd place in 5.0 DUPR events.

What pickleball coaches in Novato, California can help you work on

Private pickleball lessons in Novato are built around your goals. Whatever you want to improve, a coach can focus each session on it. Here are the areas coaches in Novato work on most.

Dinking and the soft game

Win at the kitchen line with controlled dinks, resets, and patience. Novato coaches build the soft game that decides most pickleball points.

Serve and return depth

Start each point on the front foot with a deep serve and return. A coach in Novato works on consistency, depth, and placement off both shots.

Third-shot drop and strategy

Master the third-shot drop and the transition to the net. Pickleball coaches in Novato teach when to drop, when to drive, and how to take the line.

Volleys, putaways, and net play

Speed up the game, defend the body, and finish points at the net. Novato coaches sharpen your hands, reaction time, and shot selection up front.

Footwork, positioning, and doubles

Move as a team, cover the middle, and stay in the right spot on the court. Pickleball coaches in Novato drill footwork and doubles strategy.

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18
