Learn Pickleball with Bernie

5.0 11 reviews

I'm a dedicated tournament medalist, fueled by a profound passion for the game. As a PPR Certified coach, I find joy in both my own gameplay and nurturing new talents through sharing my expertise. I've been coaching for 3 years and adapt your style of play to the technical aspects of the game. If you want to improve your technique and game, I can help you no matter what your level is. When given group lessons, I prefer to keep it at 4, but will go as high as 8. I individualize every lesson for every student based on what they express they want to learn.

Very fortunate to have Barry as our coach. We were 4 completely new players that had never picked up a paddle. After 3 group lessons we are playing on our own and enjoying the game very much. I highly recommend using Barry as a coach. He’s very friendly, detail oriented, and extremely knowledgable. Great coach and great time learning.
