Mark
I'm a passionate pickleball player and coach with a 4.0 skill level and over four years of experience playing locally. My love for racket sports started with tennis, where I found success in high school, winning at the district level. 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.
Jawad
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.

Demario
4.0+ pickleball level. Been playing racket sports from a very young age: a couple of years of serious tennis, 5 years of serious "Padel Tennis", some Racquetball, Badminton, and countless hours of serious Ping Pong with a few tournaments wins under his belt. Started playing pickleball 14 years ago and has really picked up on it as his favorite racket sport since the pandemic, quickly becoming very passionate about it and about teaching it as well. He'll teach you tips and tricks to improve your game to very quickly turn you into a serious contender.

I continue to support her career by advising and drilling with her regularly. Now, I am a 4.5 pickleball player, author and podcaster.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
Coach William
pickleball coach
WEAR Comfortable sports clothing. Tennis or pickleball shoes. BRING Fluids to hydrate. An open mind. An open heart. Your voice. A good attitude.
Coach Juan
pickleball coach
Well, if you have your favorite paddle, by all means, bring it - there's nothing like your favorite - otherwise, I'll provide one. Definitely bring plenty of hydration with you, especially during the hot months!! Comfortable clothing, as required by temperature. Additionally, with regards to clothing, great court shoes - with non marking soles - really make a difference in your play. Pickleball is regarded as a low impact sport , but it is an impact sport. You can get hurt. If you have any issues with mobility, -elbows, ankles, knees, etc- do make sure you bring the proper support so that you don't get hurt. Pickle balls do not hurt if they hit you. They sting a little and might make your skin red, but I've never seen anyone get bruised by a pickle ball. (I have seen people get bruised by a tennis ball, but never with a pickle ball). Nonetheless, the one thing that can do damage is if it hits you in the eye, especially if you wear contact lenses. Hence, it is important you wear comfortable eyeglasses, preferably impact resistant ones, available at any sporting goods store. Prescription eyeglasses, including sunglasses, are a great idea to avoid getting hurt in the eyes, too. Above all, bring enthusiasm and a positive attitude!
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Logan
pickleball coach
When I work with kids, my sole focus is on the child having fun! That is the most important part of playing pickleball. We will play fun games and drills while also having discussions on how to improve their gameplay. Depending on the skill of the child, the discussions and practice will vary to fit their needs.
