Top 3 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Tahoe City, CA

Bio: I started playing almost 5 years ago and wow what an incredible sport for MANY reasons. Social, personal growth, community, refinement of skills personally and on the court, exercise and connections. I have learned so much about myself through playing pickleball. And I have learned the skill and strategy over the years. I have faced my fears in playing up past my level and it’s been amazing. I love being active and getting people to have fun and not worry too much about the score or who wins. My nickname is KK and I have energy all day long and I love people and teaching them a new skill or advancing in the one they already know. Life is amazing but pickleball makes it even more so. Oh the people I’ve met and the friends I have developed. I’m sold out to this sport and can’t wait to reach and teach more people of ALL ages and ability!!
