I'm David Price, and my journey in racket sports started with racquetball and ping pong. Four years ago, I discovered pickleball and fell in love with its fast-paced, competitive nature.

With over 4.8 million people now enjoying pickleball, I'm excited to share the strategies and knowledge I've gathered along the way. As a certified PPR instructor, I specialize in teaching everything from scoring and serving to dinking and volleying techniques, helping you build confidence and stamina on the court. I'm passionate about making learning enjoyable, and I look forward to helping you improve your skills so you can have as much fun playing pickleball as I do.

If you're looking to improve your game in any aspect, look no further. Whether it's a specific shot or just in general, I can elevate your game. Between my 27 years of playing tennis at a high level (20 spent coaching too), and now my 7 years of pickleball (5.0 rating) with 5 years of giving lessons, I have the utmost confidence in my coaching abilities. Between the above, having 3 kids, and having taught for years, I'll always be patience yet firm no matter your current level.
"Mike showed me why I was continuing to miss the same 3rd ball drop on my forehand. I've been playing the same for so long I'm trying to change it and I see how it helps, it's just hard to fix old habits. I'm planning on more lessons with him because it's already helped.
