These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I’m certified with honors as a pickleball instructor and a certified skill rater (PCI). I promote enjoyment, mastery, and victory, but safety first. I currently play at a 5.0+ skill level (PCI and USAP; not DUPR rated). I’m available as a coach, trainer, and hitting partner. My first task with you is to rate your skill level, so a PCI rating is included, if you want: My lessons are tailored to your goals (competition or recreation) and your stage of progress. For minor athletes, I follow MAAPP standards from U.S. Center for SafeSport.
"I recently had the pleasure of taking a pickleball lesson with Mike, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Mike’s teaching style is engaging and approachable, making it easy for players of all skill levels to feel comfortable and motivated. He took the time to assess my current abilities and tailored the lesson to focus on areas where I needed improvement, such as footwork and shot accuracy. His clear explanations and demonstrations helped me grasp complex techniques quickly, and he provided valuable feedback in a way that was constructive without feeling overwhelming. Mike's ability to break down the game’s nuances made me feel more confident on the court. What really stood out during the lesson was Mike’s enthusiasm and passion for the game. His energy was infectious, and it made the session not only educational but also enjoyable. He encouraged me to push my limits while maintaining a supportive atmosphere, ensuring I was always focused on having fun while improving. By the end of the lesson, I felt more confident in my skills and excited to apply what I had learned. Mike’s expertise and genuine love for pickleball truly shine through in his teaching, and I can’t wait to take another lesson with him in the future.

Frequently asked questions
What to expect when you take a Pickleball lesson in West Hartford
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Marketa
pickleball coach
The first session is an assessment-based lesson. I evaluate technique, shot selection, footwork, patterns of play, and decision-making under pressure. We identify strengths, inefficiencies, and mental habits that may be limiting performance. I also assess how the player manages stress, momentum shifts, and errors. By the end of the lesson, the player has a clear performance focus and a customized training plan targeting both technical and mental aspects of their game.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
Coach Colleen
pickleball coach
Wear comfortable fitness clothing and footwear, preferably court shoes for safety, however regular sneakers are okay to start. If you have a racquet that is great. If not, I will provide one.
Coach Robert
pickleball coach
Please wear sneakers (tennis shoes preferred), water and comfortable athletic clothing.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Robert
pickleball coach
I use a variety of fun drills and modified games to teach kids pickleball. I like to keep lessons fun with lots of positive reinforcement. I can do individual lessons, but teaching doubles pickleball works better with 3 or 4 players (I can act as a 4th).
