Private Pickleball Lessons & Coaches in Colwyn, PA

As an avid sports fan, player and coach (baseball, basketball and, most recently, pickleball), I have developed a passion for playing, competing in tournaments, and coaching pickleball to students of all ages and skill levels. As a coach, I refine skills with tailored instruction and proven techniques and focus upon strategy and having fun. Join me to elevate your game!

I love introducing new people to the world of pickleball. During my 3 years of playing, I've worked with friends, family, and strangers, introducing them to the wonderful world of pickleball. I recently completed my pickleball coaching certification. I also teach pickleball clinics at Dill Dinkers. I'm an elementary educator by day and love teaching. I'd love to help introduce you to the game that I love. I love working with new players, from kids to senior adults. I work full-time in the local school district. Availability will follow the school calendar.

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've been hooked on the thrill of pickleball for the past year and a half. With a background in tennis from my high school days, I've seamlessly transitioned my love for racquet sports to the pickleball court. Having played in tournaments and regularly honing my skills at multiple locations, I recently dipped my toes into teaching as a guest instructor at the Phoenixville Rec Center. The experience left me eager to share my knowledge and passion with more players. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the ropes or an intermediate player aiming to refine your techniques, I'm here to guide you on your pickleball journey. Let's hit the court together and elevate your game to new heights!

"Great coach and teacher!

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.

Igniting a love for the game is my mission. While relatively new to teaching, my deep understanding of pickleball strategy and technique allows me to effectively guide players of all levels. I'm dedicated to fostering a fun, supportive learning environment where you can reach your full potential.
