Hi, I’m Saraa! I’ve been hooked on pickleball since 2021, and I play competitively at the 4.0–4.5 level (soon to be 4.5–5.0!). My true passion, though, is coaching adult beginners and helping people fall in love with this amazing sport. My coaching style is all about keeping things fun while building real skills and strategy. I believe in learning by playing, cheering each other on, and letting passion lead the way. Whether your goal is to keep up with friends, join a league, or just enjoy a new hobby, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there. One of my favorite things about pickleball is how welcoming it is—anyone can jump in and play, no matter their athletic background. Yet at the same time, there’s always room to improve and challenge yourself. Plus, the community is second to none—you’ll leave the court with new friends and a big smile. My go-to shot is the two-handed backhand drive (the “twoie”), and right now I’m working on nailing my backhand roll. Fun fact: I grew up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—home of Selkirk Sport—so I’ll always be a Selkirk girl at heart!
"Getting more comfortable with the volley and serve, I think Saraa's lesson really helped fine-tune those parts of my game, and I'm hopeful about perfecting my skills further.

"David is a very patient coach. He was very clear when he explained the rules of pickleball. He was able to help each one of us but still pay attention to the other players. He was very encouraging which made us want to come back for more lessons. He provided easy exercises to do on our own. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of taking up pickleball.

I’ve been playing pickleball for over 3 years and currently have a 4.4+ DUPR rating, regularly competing with 4.5 to 5.0+ players. I started with no previous racket sport experience, so I understand learning the game from the ground up. I enjoy coaching beginner and intermediate players, focusing on dinking, drops, resets, positioning, shot selection and strategy. My goal is to identify each player’s needs, build confidence and make improvement fun.
I’m a Selkirk Sponsored Emerging Pro and competitive 5.3 DUPR player with experience competing in PPA events and 5.0+ tournaments. I’ve won multiple local and 5.0 tournaments, including Men’s Doubles at the 2026 Pints & Paddles Summer Slam & Jam, where I also finished 2nd in Mixed Doubles.
