"Tyler was great!!!
Tyler
My love for racquet sports started early with tennis, I even played on my high school’s JV team! Being active and outdoorsy has always been a big part of who I am, which probably stems from growing up in the stunning landscapes of Colorado. After moving to Austin 12 years ago, I stumbled upon pickleball about 3 years back, and it's been a total game-changer! The fast-paced action, the social atmosphere, and the opportunity to constantly improve have made it my favorite way to stay active, challenge myself and have fun.

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.

Over 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!
"Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.

I come from a tennis and ping pong background so when I picked up pickleball it was very natural for me. It’s a fun sport and very social. Playing the dinking and kitchen game has changed me a lot into a better player and I would love to show and teach that to others.

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Shannon
pickleball coach
I understand most kids learn best through play and hands-on experience. They respond to fun activities, games, and a less formal teaching style. Typically they have shorter attention spans and need frequent breaks, varied activities, and engaging, fast-paced games to keep them focused. Are still developing coordination and balance, so teaching often focuses on building these skills through movement-based activities. Are motivated by fun, enjoyment, and positive reinforcement. They thrive on games, challenges, and rewards like praise or prizes. Need more immediate, positive feedback and encouragement, focusing on fun and small wins rather than perfect technique. Need quicker transitions and more dynamic lessons that keep them engaged and moving. Lessons are less formal, incorporating games, creativity, and a playful approach to learning.
