Private Pickleball Lessons & Coaches in Shady Hollow, TX

Hi! My name is Benjamin and I have been playing pickleball for over 10 years now. With that, I’ve seen exactly how much the game has changed over the last decade and grown alongside it. Now I’m a freshman at UT Austin studying mechanical engineering and playing on the competitive travel team. I’m young, energetic, and honestly just grateful for the chance to share all the knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I love playing and helping people actually advance to the next level, let’s do this.

He’s incredibly observant and catches the small habit flaws that most people miss. If you want to play a smarter, more strategic version of pickleball, I definitely suggest booking a session with him

"Lessons were great, but what’s awesome is that he brought a few paddle types and let me trial them to figure out what kind I need! We tried a power, control, and hybrid paddles - ending up buying a Selkirk luxx control!!
