Hello, my name is Sean Leyva. Ready to learn the basics of Pickleball? Iâm an enthusiastic pickleball player who loves the energy, strategy, and community of the game. Whether Iâm perfecting my dinks, acing my serves, or enjoying friendly competition, pickleball fuels my passion for staying active and connecting with others on the court!
"Sean was great! He went over the fundamentals of pickleball and really made me feel at ease for my first pickleball lesson. He also demonstrated what to do and what not to do, making learning pickleball easier than I thought it would be!
I started playing pickleball 3 years ago and I play almost every day in advanced level open play and ladder sessions. Iâve 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 itâs 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
Building on a diverse sports background, I've transitioned from dedicating myself to tennis, ping-pong, and badminton to becoming a 4.5 rated Pickleball player. Now, I channel my joy and expertise into teaching the game, ready to share this exhilarating sport with you and your friends! With my broad background and dedication, I'm here to guide your journey! I recommend 90 minutes if you are doing one session only.

I start by understanding the playerâs current level, strengths, goals, and pain points. We run through some live hitting, serve/return, third shot drops, dinks, and transition play to assess movement and shot selection. From there, I tailor a game plan specific to the playerâs needsâwhether itâs footwork, shot precision, or strategy.
