Howdy! I am a previously 4.5 tennis player that converted to pickle ball 2 years ago. I know play tournaments and am currently a 4.752 DUPR. I’ve won a couple 5.0 Singles tournaments as well as 5.0 tournaments. If you want to play at the +4.5 level, I can get you there! I am local to Orange County.
With two years of professional pickleball and having a top 100 ranking in the PPA, I'm dedicated to helping players of all levels elevate their game.

Hi, I’m Coach Jason, a dedicated pickleball coach with 3 years of experience helping players of all levels improve their game, from beginners to competitive 4.0 players looking to sharpen their skills, strategy, and consistency. My coaching focuses on building a strong foundation that includes footwork, stroke mechanics, shot selection, court positioning and recognizing patterns. Encouragement is a big part of my coaching style. I believe players improve faster when they feel supported.
"I came to Jason with 3 years experience playing pickleball already so I wasn't sure how much a few coaching sessions could offer me at this stage. I was pleasantly surprised. Jason has a sharp eye for the finer details of the game, and he quickly identified habits in my technique that I didn't even know were holding me back. His feedback is specific, constructive, and easy to apply — I saw a noticeable improvement in my consistency and court positioning within just a few sessions. What I appreciated most was that he challenged me without ever making the sessions feel overwhelming. If you think you've outgrown beginner coaching, I'd encourage you to give Jason a chance — he absolutely has something to offer at every level.

"Michael is legit! He explains everything so well and he’s super nice. I’ve improved so much from the pickleball tips he’s given me!
Fueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.
"Bill is patient and objective in his coaching style so it is always very comfortable working with him. Great at observing movements that need to be corrected. He is actively involved in the coaching session.
Drawing from my rich athletic background as a 4.3 rated competitor in both tennis and squash, I've engaged in numerous tournament plays, mastering the dynamics of court sports. I am known for my analytical approach to these games, a trait that naturally extends to my teaching methodology in pickleball. Using this approach, I am capable of dissecting the nuances of the game, offering insight, and sharing valuable learnings. My primary goal is to help others build their skills, understand the strategies, and ultimately, elevate their enjoyment of the fascinating game of pickleball.
Master the court one Stroke at a Time - Specializing in Singles Strategy, Doubles Dynamics and Clean Confident technique. Unleash your Inner Pickleball Pro with focused singles training, Doubles IQ and Technical Precision. With a playful strategy and meticulous technique, I guide players to victory on the court. My years of teaching pickleball and winning tournaments offers students tailored expertise. The majority of the coaches concentrate on doubles and general ball striking teaching technique but not in singles play. There is a certain feeling of accomplishment when winning in singles. As an IPTPA Certified Coach and participant in PPA and APP tournaments I believe I can help with specific play and strategy unique to singles but not only. Let's elevate your game with skill and fun!
""I worked with Coach Peter to improve my serves and two-handed dinks, and the experience was fantastic! Coach Peter provided clear and actionable feedback, which greatly enhanced my technique and confidence. The drills were fun and effective, helping me see immediate progress in my game. I appreciate the supportive environment, which made learning enjoyable. If you're looking to elevate your pickleball skills, I highly recommend Coach Peter.

First lesson with advanced players will discuss where they are at now and what they wish to focus on and where they want to be. This lesson will most likely consist of working on just one or two points that the student wishes to focus on the most. Usually something like fast hands at the net, transition play or third shots.
