I’m a natural athlete who believes that age brings wisdom, enhancing my approach to sports. Pickleball, to me, is as much about mental strategy as it is about skill. My teaching style is fun and easygoing, which helps others enjoy the game while improving. Ranked around a 4.0 I often surprise opponents with my power and precise placement on the court.

I dove into the world of Pickleball over four years ago. Driven by my immense love for the sport, I decided to share my passion by becoming PPR certified pickleball instructor. Several of my students have medaled in tournaments and have finished on the top of their pickleball league. Weather is never an issue, I have three private indoor courts we can use. I’m also available for corporate team building events.
"Great coach and even better teacher. Quickly identifies areas needed and addresses them through repetition. Lots of positive reinforcement and makes the training session fun.

Hi. My name is Morgan "Coach Quinn". I've been playing Pickleball since 2016. In 2018, I started helping people learn this great sport by developing a comprehensive beginners class. In 2021 I became a PCI instructor, and in 2022 I became a IPTPA Certified Instructor. In 2021, I established a free group for beginners to play, allowing you to continue learning after taking my classes. Additionally, I also constructed my own picklball court in my yard to assist you in improving your skills at a time that suits your schedule. I look forward to helping you learn Pickleball.
"What a solid lesson. Morgan’s clear guidance on how to play and the instruction on rules and techniques gave us confidence as total beginners. We left ready to play a game and continue improving. Thanks for the fun and detailed lesson.

For over 25 years, I've been immersed in the world of tennis. On top of that, my love for table tennis has kept me engaged for nearly four decades, and I'm still at it. A few years ago, I embraced a new challenge: pickleball. I've since competed in various tournaments in Virginia, both in singles and mixed doubles categories. Just in 2023, I proudly clinched 5 medals – 2 in singles and 3 in mixed doubles. Beyond the thrill of the game, I have a passion for teaching and connecting with new people. Sharing my knowledge and experiences with others is what keeps me going.
