I’ve been playing and coaching Pickleball for 7 months and am currently rated 3.6. I’m passionate about helping players of all skill levels improve their game, especially those who are new to the sport. My patience and dedication ensure that every player feels supported and motivated to reach their full potential. I also play baseball and combining my skills from baseball to Pickleball is a great learning opportunity for myself!

"Tyler’s relatability and excitement for the game.
I'm David, and after 30 years of playing 4.5 tennis, I discovered my passion for Pickleball and haven't looked back since. Now, I'm excited to share my expertise as a Certified PPR Coach and help beginners up to 4.0+ DUPR players improve their skills and understanding of this dynamic sport. Despite initial hesitation, I've come to love Pickleball even more than tennis and am eager to guide others in enjoying this game as much as I do. Let's work together and elevate your Pickleball game!
"Coach David has the ability to see what is working and what isn’t working during the lesson and adjust the drills accordingly. Always clear feedback and encouraging.
With nearly five years of pickleball instruction and podium finishes at the 5.0+ level, I help athletes of all levels with skill development and strategic thinking. I’m open for one-on-one and group sessions. I can often find you a compatible lesson partner when schedules mesh. I have 25 years of fitness coaching experience with an expertise in injury reduction. I train and work with pickleball athletes on and off court. Pickleball is a footwork sport and I love teaching players the important details — whether it be technique or strategies for on court success. Your goals are my goals — I work to help you shine and be a force on court!
"Leslie was fabulous and was able to quickly teach fundamentals to our son while helping him see where the fundamentals would lead him 10/10
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. Please note: I am available other days and times not shown in my availability. If you have a special scheduling request, please contact me through app support with 2-3 time/day options to have best chance 1 will work for me too. Thank you.

Are you ready to learn how to play pickleball? Take your pickleball game to the next level? Host an epic pickleball group lesson or team-building event? Look no further, as I am here to guide you through an exhilarating journey on the court. With an impressive 5.3 DUPR ranking and winning record of 15 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 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 4 weeks 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’d say the lesson with Mayra was quite helpful. She explained the fundamental rules pretty clearly and offered good feedback on my serve, though I still need to work on my positioning. Still, I appreciated her focus on basic strategies, which made me more confident about playing with others. If you're looking to get started or brush up on the fundamentals, you might want to give Mayra a try.
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!
