George
Transitioning from a lifelong tennis journey, I've spent the last two years deeply immersed in the world of pickleball, and now, as a 4.5 player, coaching is my primary passion. My own start in pickleball came from lessons with a skilled local instructor, and I've since played in various tournaments. This hands-on experience shaped my down-to-earth coaching methodology. When you train with me, we'll begin at the foundation, just as I did: starting short, with underhand strokes, and progressively moving back. I'll guide you through essential serves, introducing you to specific serve techniques. Each session will kick off by understanding and evaluating your existing skills, after which we'll journey deeper into technical expertise. My goal is to craft lessons tailored to your needs and ensure that, through my coaching, your love and proficiency in pickleball grows exponentially.
"Holly is very concise and makes even work outs fun. We have a great time and hope to play with a group soon.

Frequently asked questions
What to expect when you take a Pickleball lesson in Fruitville
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Luis
pickleball coach
I start by conducting a thorough skills assessment through warm-up rallies and targeted drills to identify strengths (like consistent dinking or powerful drives) and areas for improvement (such as footwork efficiency or shot variety). We discuss their goals, such as tournament preparation or mastering spin, and review key rules nuances like stacking in doubles. Hands-on, we refine grips for advanced shots, practice controlled volleys, and introduce strategy concepts like third-shot drops under pressure. The session ends with a simulated game point to apply insights, plus personalized homework like video self-analysis.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
Coach Alberto
pickleball coach
Definitely want to come out comfortable and tennis shoes. I have an extra paddle but you can bring your own if you want.
Coach Luis
pickleball coach
Students should come prepared with essentials for a safe and enjoyable session. At minimum, wear comfortable athletic clothing (breathable shirts, shorts or pants that allow movement), non-marking court shoes with good lateral support to prevent slips on the hard surface, and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated—pickleball can get intense! Sunglasses or a hat are recommended for outdoor play, along with personal sunscreen. If you already own a pickleball paddle and balls, bring them to get personalized feedback, but it’s not required initially since I’ll provide extras. Optionally, a towel, snacks for energy, and any personal protective gear like knee braces if needed. Focus on comfort to maximize learning!
Coach Jose
pickleball coach
If you don’t have anything that’s ok I have equipment for you to borrow.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Alberto
pickleball coach
Having extra patience lol I’ll train them just like how I do with adults but with extra grace!
Coach Luis
pickleball coach
When working with kids, I adapt lessons to be fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. I use shorter, game-like drills (e.g., target hitting with colorful cones or relay races with paddles) to keep their attention, focusing on basic skills like grip and forehand swings. Sessions are kept to 45-60 minutes, with frequent breaks, and I incorporate storytelling (e.g., “become a pickleball superhero!”) to teach rules and strategy. I use smaller courts or adjusted net heights if needed, and provide lightweight paddles and kid-sized balls for easier handling. Positive reinforcement and group activities foster teamwork and confidence.
Coach Jose
pickleball coach
Working with kids I will show a lot of enthusiasm and charisma. I enjoy working with kids because we will not only have a lot of fun Developing their skills, but they will also learn a lot discipline and focus while working with me.
