"I have been working with the FXW School for the past two years to introduce and develop pickleball for their junior players. We consistently see a fantastic turnout, with up to 20 kids participating per session. While the students generally start as beginners, many are incredibly fast learners. We focus on blending skill-building with fun games, and after just a few sessions each term, the players successfully transition into competitive match play. It continues to be a highly successful program, and I look forward to getting them back on the court for the next session.

I'm a Chicago-based pickleball coach at Big City Pickle and KB Fitness Solutions — and I love helping players of all levels master their game. My sessions are high-energy, personalized, and actually fun. We'll work on your serve, dinks, footwork, and court awareness through real drills and game situations. Come ready to laugh, learn, and level up your game!
