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.

Your goals are my goals — I work to help you shine and be a force on court!

"Kasia’s lesson was clearly expert and patient, and I left buzzing with confidence. Lesson highlight: her knowledge shines, and I’m excited about more technical depth and practice next time, a welcome boost.

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!
"Great coach! Clear and Concise instructions

What to expect when you take a Pickleball lesson in Williamson County
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Kersten
pickleball coach
Promptly after booking with me, you'll receive my welcome message and question: "Looking forward to your lesson. When you have a chance please let me know, in 2-3 sentences, about your pickleball, racquet sports, and/or other sports experience, and what you hope to learn/improve in your lesson(s)." Student responses help me to get right into and make the most of our time during their lesson. Then, based on my ongoing assessment during the lesson, I will customize the lessons to the student's level and learning style. My teaching style utilizes evidenced based skill acquisition approaches so students learn and retain task/goal oriented pickleball skills more naturally. Every shot in pickleball can be accomplished using a variety of techniques and no technique is "the right correct way." I can teach you the slice, top, push and lift dink, the overhead extreme angle put away, drive and drop and roll and flick volleys. How about the slice, top or lob serve. And, I can teach you how to hit deceptive shots too. I'm considered a power player with excellent finesse paddle skills. I can play right and left handed, hit dinks and half volleys between my legs and behind my back. If you want to pursue mastering pickleball and playing top level, even professional level, I'll get you to the highest level you aspire to the fastest!
