As a retired transportation logistics director, I found pickleball as a way to create and foster community. People frequently asked me for coaching, so I decided to get certified and help others. Now, as a 4.0-rated player, I am dedicated to sharing my love for the game and helping others improve their skills.
"Another outstanding lesson with Stan! I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone seeking pickleball instruction.

4.0 level player. Love pickleball and love teaching! Former tennis player (still play here and there). Never thought I would love anything more than tennis, but here we are! Would be my pleasure to teach you how to play pickleball and answer any questions you might have!
"I continue to learn new things. This past lesson was a mix of drills to help me manage and return balls coming to my center, right and left. I like when Suzanne has me re- doing something until I get the hang of. She is patient, doesn’t move on just because we spent x amount of time on. She will say “nope, let’s do it again”. I encourage that.

My lessons emphasize proper technique, court positioning, strategy, and—most importantly—making the game fun and accessible.

"Don is an excellent choice for seniors looking to learn or improve at pickleball. He understands the limitations of people that are slightly older like myself. He focuses on fundamentals, puts safety 1st and explains how to play smarter not harder while creating a relaxed, welcoming environment. Players feel supported and comfortable at every level. Keeps the fun in the game.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE PICKLEBALL COACH I know what it takes to compete — and I coach from that experience, not just from a certification manual. I CAN DIAGNOSE FAST Most coaches give generic feedback. I identify what's actually wrong — quickly — and we make real progress in a single session. No wasted time, no vague cues. I UNDERSTAND men…er…WOMEN…er, people! That’s it, people. The dynamics, the mental pressures, the physical realities of being a (man, a woman, or a muppet) on court. I bring empathy and edge in equal measure. No mansplaining. Ever. EQ, off the charts, (HOW)ever! I COACH THE WHOLE PLAYER Technical, tactical, mental. I know when to push and when to have patience. I'll enhance your strengths, work on your weaknesses, and tailor everything to who you are as a player. EVERY PLAYER HAS A GOAL WORTH CHASING. My students range from 3.0 players discovering the sport to 4.5+ competitors chasing a rating or a tournament result. Mostly women — but not exclusively. What everyone shares is a goal, even if they haven't fully defined it yet. Sometimes the goal is simple: beat Suzy at league night. Sometimes it's bigger: find your inner athlete, feel confident on court, connect to something that's genuinely yours. Often the goal evolves — students come in wanting one thing and discover something they didn't know they were looking for. I'll meet you where you are and hold the highest vision for where you can go — while understanding that progress isn't always linear and some days are just harder than others.
"If you’re looking for a coach who is both easy to get along with and highly skilled, Chris is the one. He brings a contagious energy to the court, and it’s clear he clearly loves the game. I really appreciate how he adapts his teaching style, to my needs, using fun drills that keep me motivated while noticeably improving my game. It is a huge plus that he’s such a strong player himself; his demonstrations are always spot on!
