Learn Pickleball with Dennis

Over 40 years dedicated to teaching racquetball at the highest level, I've transitioned seamlessly into Pickleball, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge. Having competed in Open Racquetball and 5.0 tennis levels, I now excel on the Pickleball court at the 4.5 level. For the past three years, I've led beginning and intermediate Pickleball clinics twice a week, with class sizes ranging from 24 to 50 participants. Additionally, I instruct Pickleball classes for the City of Lodi Parks and Recreation department, empowering players of all ages and skill levels to improve their game. As a PPR-certified associate coach, I am committed to helping each student reach their full potential on the court. Let's elevate your Pickleball game together!

He not only has an extensive knowledge of the game of pickleball but he is a natural teacher. During clinics, he clarifies the essential elements of the game students need to master and understand. He delivers instruction in understandable chunks so that students can work on a specific skill set without being overwhelmed. On any and every lesson day, you can see Dennis giving individualized instruction to players; he is always ready to help both veterans and newbies improve their game.

Dennis' passion for the game of pickleball is contagious. The program he has created provides a warm, friendly environment and players of all skill levels can benefit from his knowledge and expertise. When I was starting as a brand new player, Dennis was patient, welcoming and provided the instruction I needed to get me playing with friends. With his help my game continues to improve!

When I started taking Pickleball lessons from Dennis one year ago, I was new to the sport. I have never played tennis, racketball, or ping-pong. Dennis welcomed me to the courts and provided clear instructions that helped me learn how to play Pickleball. Dennis creates games that helps me and others improve upon our current skills.
