About Jimmy

I'm a certified PPR pickleball instructor, fully insured, and a registered member of USA Pickleball. Sports have been my passion since day one, competing in various ball-related tournaments worldwide, consistently ranking in the top 10 of the 30-year-old division for an impressive 12 years. Alongside pickleball, I have a deep affection for boxing, racquetball, baseball, ping pong, and all things sports-related. With over two decades of coaching experience in softball, baseball, and soccer, I find joy in sharing invaluable insights that enhance performance and skill development. Lately, I've been thrilled to lend my expertise to numerous pickleball enthusiasts, eager to embark on this exhilarating, strategic, and highly social game, which demands precision in body motion, footwork, and technique.

Patient, kind, and passionate about pickleball—I help beginners dive into the fastest-growing sport in America with confidence! Lessons, drills, and fun guaranteed! *Flexible lesson scheduling and location.

What students say...

"Larry's lesson was quite engaging, especially with the added game with another couple. I appreciated how he makes the experience both fun and slightly challenging. Though I’m still aiming to improve my game skills, I noticed some good techniques that I can work on next time. Still, I think I’ll keep coming back to try and refine what I learn from him, there’s definitely room to grow, but the lessons are quite helpful.
