"The lesson went pretty well. Marc gave me some good tips on court positioning, forehand/backhand drives and well as some placement strategies. I can take the feedback and work on it during my pickup games. Looking forward to the next lesson with Marc to keep building on what I’ve learned so far.

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.
"PJ was great and very good introducing me to the sport. Well worth it.

"The lesson was quite helpful in refining my pickleball skills, especially points like better positioning. Though I still need some work on my volley, I think Tj's advice makes me hopeful for future progress.

I had no racket sport background, so I started pickleball from below zero. If that’s your starting point too, I can assure you that together you can go a very promising path, as probably I had all your weaknesses and I know how to help you solve them.
"I haven’t formally trained with her, but while participating in a weekly pickleball league she kindly noticed my serve during warm-ups and offered a helpful tip that immediately improved my game. Very observant and generous with her knowledge.
