With a lifelong passion for racquet and paddle sports, I've dedicated six years to playing, competing, and teaching pickleball. My journey in racquet sports began with junior and collegiate tennis, and later, I transitioned to racquetball, achieving remarkable success with 14 national titles in singles and doubles, a world doubles title as part of Team USA, and a world ranking of #3 on the pro tour. Pickleball has been a natural extension of my racquet sports expertise, and in every tournament I've entered, I've emerged victorious or landed in the top three. My love for these games drives me to teach and share my knowledge, making me a dedicated and accomplished pickleball player and instructor.

Are you ready to learn how to play pickleball? Take your pickleball game to the next level? Host an epic pickleball corporate party or team-building event? Look no further, as I am here to guide you through an exhilarating journey on the court. With an impressive record of 13 tournament victories under my belt in events up to the 5.0 level, I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to join my highly sought-after pickleball corporate events, clinics, and private lessons! Pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country, has captivated players of all ages and skill levels. As a certified instructor and tournament player, I have experienced the thrill of competition firsthand and developed a profound understanding of the game's intricacies. With my proven expertise and strategic insight, I am eager to help you unlock your full potential and elevate your pickleball skills to new heights! Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 2 months after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament. Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now forever

"Our corporate team had an incredible experience with Pickleball Playmakers this evening! From start to finish, everything went flawlessly. Dan’s ability to engage the entire group, regardless of our skill level or experience, was truly impressive. He made the booking process a breeze and was exceptionally accommodating to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better event, and we’re already looking forward to working with them again in the future!

I'm a pro pickleball player with a passion for sharing my love of the game. I bring four years of coaching experience to the court, guiding players of all levels to reach their full potential. Let's have some fun while elevating your game!

"Kasia’s lesson was clearly expert and patient, and I left buzzing with confidence. Lesson highlight: her knowledge shines, and I’m excited about more technical depth and practice next time, a welcome boost.

I'm Paul, and I've enthusiastically joined the pickleball craze. Coaching is my passion, and I'm here to help players of all ages enhance their skills, grasp strategy & utilize it to their advantage, and truly enjoy the game! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, let's work together to achieve your pickleball goals and have a blast doing it! I personally play pickleball at least 5 days a week, and I’ve been coaching now for 2 years. I’d love for the opportunity to make a positive & lasting impact by being part of your personal pickleball journey!

"The lesson was quite good, especially getting a chance to work on my serve and game play. Though I’d like to see more of the same focus, it felt quite practical and helpful overall. Paul’s approach feels measured and straightforward, which is just right for where I’m at. If you’re looking to improve specific aspects like serving or gameplay, I’d say give him a try.

If you’re ready to learn pickleball or take your beginner-intermediate (1.0-4.0) skills to the next level, you have a choice: (1) Work with someone who simply “picked up” the sport and may not know how to teach it effectively, or (2) Train with a former UT racket sports instructor and multi-medalist in USSP tournaments across Texas and Oklahoma. With professional instruction, you’ll not only master the fundamentals of this fun, social, and wildly popular sport—you’ll also stay safe by learning proper warm-ups and stretches to help prevent injuries. Plus, take on the ball machine, overcome your kitchen fears, choose the best clothing and equipment, dealing with your emotions in competition, and much more!

"Great coach! Clear and Concise instructions

Hi! My name is Benjamin and I have been playing pickleball for over 10 years now. With that, I’ve seen exactly how much the game has changed over the last decade and grown alongside it. Now I’m a freshman at UT Austin studying mechanical engineering and playing on the competitive travel team. I’m young, energetic, and honestly just grateful for the chance to share all the knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I love playing and helping people actually advance to the next level, let’s do this.

"Working with Benjamin has been a game-changer for my overall court awareness. We focused heavily on the transition zone and hitting quality thirds to get to the net safely. He’s incredibly observant and catches the small habit flaws that most people miss. If you want to play a smarter, more strategic version of pickleball, I definitely suggest booking a session with him
