About Wayne

I was introduced to pickleball two years ago and have been a fan and student of the game ever since. I enjoy sharing the finer points nuances of the game and seeing my students making progress in their pickleball journey. I usually play a minimum of five days a week for at least three hours per day. Occasionally I will play both in the morning and again in the evening. I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor for adults and a PPR Certified Youth Pickleball Development Coach for intermediate and high schoolers.

What students say...

"The lesson with Wayne focused on dinking and volley practice, which I found quite helpful. I still need to learn how to anticipate pace and spin better but I’m improving due to Wayne’s insights. I highly recommend Wayne if you want to sharpen your pickleball skills.

Dinking and the soft game

Win at the kitchen line with controlled dinks, resets, and patience. Smithfield coaches build the soft game that decides most pickleball points.

Third-shot drop and strategy

Master the third-shot drop and the transition to the net. Pickleball coaches in Smithfield teach when to drop, when to drive, and how to take the line.

Volleys, putaways, and net play

Speed up the game, defend the body, and finish points at the net. Smithfield coaches sharpen your hands, reaction time, and shot selection up front.

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18
