"Amazing clinic today. Thank you for the two hours of fun.

Michele's journey into pickleball began in 2017, driven by her preparation for the US Transplant Games the following year. Instantly enamored with the sport, she delved deep, earning both PPR Coach and IFP Instructor certifications in 2019 followed by RPO certification in 2025. As a dedicated Youth Pickleball Provider (YPP) with USA Pickleball, Michele's joy lies in coaching enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, fostering a love for pickleball within her community.

"Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. She’s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.

I have been playing tennis all of my life, and have played pickleball for the past 2 years. I am ready to get you up to tournament level.

I am a certified pickleball coach and instructor. I received my certification through Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR). I also coach and instruct approximately 33 people which includes kids through adults and varies in skill levels. Every 2nd 4th Saturday of the month, as well as meet at various local parks weekly.

Whether you're learning your first dink or chasing your next DUPR goal, I combine high energy coaching, strategic instruction, and a fun learning environment to help players improve faster, compete smarter, and enjoy the game more.

"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.
