I’m a PPR certified instructor who has been teaching pickleball since 2022. Happy to work with you on game and stroke specifics or to teach you overall game strategy to get you on the courts!

"Honestly, Michael’s patience and overall teaching ability stood out to me during the lesson, though I think a bit more focus on specific techniques could help even more. Still, his calm approach really made me feel comfortable and motivated to keep improving. If you're looking for a coach who’s attentive and genuinely listens, I’d say give Michael a try.

As an instructor at four different locations, I am deeply immersed in the vibrant world of pickleball, catering to players of all ages and skill levels. One of my latest ventures includes spearheading the introduction of pickleball at a brand-new indoor tennis location, boasting an impressive potential of 24 pickleball courts. Here, I facilitate both children and adult programs, nurturing the growth of pickleball enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. With nearly a year of experience at my second-largest location, equipped with 14 indoor courts, I specialize in corporate functions catering to groups ranging from 50 to 200 people. This dynamic setting allows me to foster teamwork, camaraderie, and skill development among participants, making each event memorable and impactful. In addition to my roles at these locations, I proudly serve as the top pickleball instructor for DC Park Recreational, contributing to the growth and accessibility of pickleball within the community. Through private lessons, clinics, and participation in tournaments, I engage with a wide spectrum of players, conservatively interacting with over 300 individuals each week. With a passion for pickleball and a commitment to fostering its growth, I am dedicated to providing exceptional instruction and fostering a welcoming environment where players can thrive and excel.

" Coach Ivan is a fantastic teacher! I’m still in the learning stage and haven’t played a real game yet, but his patience and structured drills have already given me so much confidence. He breaks everything down clearly and makes practice genuinely fun. Can’t wait to take what I’ve learned onto the court — highly recommend him!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had no racket sport background, so I started pickleball from below zero. If that’s your starting point too, I can assure you that together you can go a very promising path, as probably I had all your weaknesses and I know how to help you solve them.

"Lots of fun

"Thank you so much, Coach Kevin! I went from knowing nothing about the rules to playing in open plays, and I can see a massive improvement in my game. You are so nice and patient. I couldn't have done it without you!

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.
