These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
As a former USPTA teaching professional, I bring proven coaching performance to the fast changing world of pickleball. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to add a 3rd shot DRIP or backhand flick to your arsenal, I’ll guide your improvement every step of the way. I specialize in meeting each player exactly where they are, and improve or build solid fundamentals through unique stroke mechanic check points. The session pace is always comfortable, encouraging, and challenging. As a senior player, I understand the unique considerations that come with starting or improving later in life, though I genuinely enjoy working with players of every age and skill level. When you book with me, you can count on plenty of balls, paddles (if needed), and a reserved space where we can focus entirely on your improvement without distractions. During the cold months (November through March) I teach at Missouri Pickleball Club in Fenton, or Missouri Pickleball Club—Ellisville. I enjoy group lessons, so book with one, two, or three friends and lower the price per student cost. I will teach at other locations if a court can be reserved and the student handles making the reservation.
"He was amazing and so helpful! I was so impressed with how much he was able to help me.
I have a passion for almost any racquet sport, but like many of you, I’ve truly fallen in love with pickleball. As a former college athlete and national leadership trainer, I combine my athletic experience with a focus on how the fundamentals of the game translate into finesse moves. I’m here to help you excel in both doubles and singles play, guiding you to develop your skills and become a leader on the court.

I'm an ambassador for Six Zero Pickleball and currently a 4.5 DUPR rated player. My tennis, ping pong, and badminton backgrounds have helped me transition into pickleball rather easily. (I guess it's a "racquet sports" thing) I primarily play at Plummer Family Park in Edwardsville, IL and the Rally Club indoor facility in Glen Carbon, IL where I'm a member. I also play in a handful of tournaments each year where I've been fortunate enough to typically medal in those tournaments. I enjoy helping people at all levels understand the basic fundamentals of pickleball, explaining strategies and tactics, as well as discussing the pros and cons of different types of equipment you should be using (paddles, shoes, sunglasses, etc).
"Curt is very patient and a great teacher. Very easy to get along with and sense of humor. I feel like he wants to help me get better and will work with his students to get them where they want to be
I’m a dual-certified Pickleball Coach (PPR and IPTPA) who loves helping beginners and early-intermediate players level up fast. I specialize in teaching 2.5–3.5 players the what, how, and why of good pickleball so you build real skills and confidence—not just shots that work “sometimes.” I’ve coached hundreds of players at Vetta Sports and even taught as a Visiting Pickleball Instructor at Club Med Punta Cana. I bring drills and techniques I’ve learned directly from top pros and tailor them to make learning easier, clearer, and more fun. I’m a competitive 4.0+ player with medals from regional tournaments and experience on the inaugural St. Louis Shock Minor League Pickleball team. I also use tech and new AI tools to help pinpoint the quickest ways for you to improve. Let’s get you playing smarter, stronger, and having more fun on the court.
"I was fortunate enough to meet Jeff at the Webster Tennis Center where he was doing some organized beginner classes. I had been struggling with progressing as an intermediate player and asked Jeff for some individual instruction. I was able to work with Jeff individually for a few sessions and saw immediate improvement in my play in the transition zone. Jeff was patient, kind, and made several excellent suggestions, that have helped me to develop more consistency in my play. Jeff also helped me to re-grip my paddle and discuss ways to weight the paddle to gain better control and to diminish stress on my elbow. After a few initial sessions, I was able to set up group lessons for several of my playing partners and the feedback has been glowingly positive. Jeff is knowledgeable and approachable in his instruction and I would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking to improve their game.
With a love for Pickleball, I strive to inspire every player. My approach makes learning fun and accessible, guiding students to reach their full potential on the court. I hope to work with you soon!
A few years ago, I was introduced to pickleball and found it to be an enjoyable pastime. With a background in ping pong, I noticed many transferable techniques, which made the transition smooth. Over the past year, my passion for the sport has grown immensely; I play weekly and have had success in local tournaments, consistently placing in the top three. Currently at a 4.0 skill level, I’m eager to share my love for pickleball by teaching others. Although I haven’t coached before, I take pride in my patient gameplay and focus on refining technique, believing that both technique and power are essential for improvement.
"Taylor is wise beyond his years. He is very cordial and easy to talk to, while encouraging at the same time. Thank you Taylor!
