19 Pickleball coaches & instructors for lessons in Indian Rocks Beach, FL

Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.

Competitive, high-energy pickleball coaching focused on real improvement. I work with players who genuinely want to level up their strategy, shot selection, positioning, consistency, and overall game IQ.

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.
