These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success with a 5.5 DUPR rating and medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.
"The lesson with Alexander provided valuable feedback that really helped me understand some of my weak spots. Though I still need to make progress on certain techniques, I'm hopeful that with more practice and additional lessons, I'll improve further. I'm still gaining confidence, and it’s encouraging to see that there’s more to work on. Still, I’d say it's a good step forward, and I might consider trying another lesson with him to keep refining my skills.
Passionate Pickleball enthusiast dedicated to spreading the joy of the game and teaching its essential skills to newcomers. Let's play and improve together!
"Great coaching.
I'm a passionate pickleball player and coach with a 4.0 skill level and over four years of experience playing locally.

This sparked my interest in pickleball, and now I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you! My coaching covers everything from the fundamentals to advanced skills and drills, including mastering those tricky shots like smashes, lobs, and volleys. We'll also focus on strategy and footwork, so you can dominate the court. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your game, I'm dedicated to providing engaging and effective instruction to help you achieve your pickleball goals.
"As a complete beginner with no sports background, I had a great experience learning pickleball with Coach Jawad. He is friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. He quickly identifies my technical issues and helps correct them before they become my habits. For example, he helped me improve my elbow and wrist positioning during my swing. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I learned a lot in a short time. The lessons were clear, helpful, and fun, and they made me enjoy pickleball. I truly appreciate his teaching and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills.
Fueling my competitive fire on the court for over 5 years, my college athletic experience has equipped me to refine players’ techniques and foster a love for pickleball. My aim is to elevate your game. Full Time Coach at Dallas Indoor in Carrollton, Texas — 24/7 access to high quality courts.
"So great and lots of fun!
As a high-performance coach, I've had the privilege of coaching my daughter and her teammate to become All-American collegiate tennis players. My daughter has since transitioned to professional pickleball, winning a silver medal on the PPA tour and competing against top players like Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns. I continue to support her career by advising and drilling with her regularly. Now, I am a 4.5 pickleball player, author and podcaster.
