"I really enjoyed how Karen focused on simulated doubles, volleys, and dinks during the lesson. Working on scoring and staying close to the kitchen line made the session feel very practical. The tips about the white tennis line were especially helpful. If you want to sharpen your pickleball skills in a fun way, Karen’s lessons are definitely worth trying! 👏

I've been playing pickleball since I was 8 years old, and over the years, it's become more than just a sport—it's a passion. With over 3 years of coaching experience, I love helping players of all levels grow their game, whether you're a total beginner, or an experienced player looking to sharpen your strategy and technique. Over the years I’ve won multiple 4.5-5.0 level gold medals, and coached many students to high level tournament success. I am currently Head Pro at Urban Pickleball, an indoor club in downtown Seattle, and I offer private coaching on the side. Let’s hit the courts and take your pickleball skills to the next level!
"Wow, Daniel's lesson really helped me with precise adjustments for my kitchen play and serve , I appreciated the focus on technique but still feel I need to work on strategy, though. It’s encouraging, and I’d be open to trying another lesson to build on what I learned.

Students should bring comfortable closed toed shoes, water, and a paddle to play with. If a student does not have a paddle, I can provide them with a demo paddle for the lesson!
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Daniel
pickleball coach
I have lots of experience in teaching kids! I have 3 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, and I teach elementary school pickleball at local schools in the Seattle area. Working with kids is mostly giving them the basic tools to succeed, including footwork, stroke form, and grip mechanics while keeping the learning fun!
Coach Christine
pickleball coach
Fun is the priority and simple language and games to get them excited. Hit a lot of balls the first time around! Start with basic mechanics of hitting the ball for drives and dinks. Will follow plan based on how ready they are to learn new things, but one new skill at least each lesson. Learning rules and etiquette is very important and I will integrate that into each lesson
