Learn Pickleball with Gary

My coaching philosophy is simple: every session should be as enjoyable as it is instructive, no matter your skill level. I take pride in introducing newcomers to the world of pickleball and relish in the opportunity to elevate the game for those looking to step up their play. I've had the pleasure of teaching with the fantastic team at Reaxn Pickleball, right at the Burbank Tennis Center, as well as various other Rec Centers. My goal is always the same – to make sure that fun and improvement go hand in hand for everyone. So, whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or aiming to dominate the court, I'm here to make it happen. Let's dive into this journey together!

As a beginning Pickleball player, I find Gary to be an excellent instructor. He provides great drills intended to improve nascent skill sets, including everything from how to hold the paddle properly, to kitchen play, to serving, to 3rd shot drop, and beyond. His demonstration of techniques is easy to follow. He encourages questions and covers all aspects of Pickleball. He is able to deftly analyze a player’s game skills and provide corrections and/or positive re-enforcement needed for improvement.

Gary did a terrific job. I have been playing pickleball for about six months so I'm not a total beginner, but I'm still prone to making simple mistakes and unforced errors. In our first lesson Gary started addressing solutions to reduce those unforced errors. My grip is better, my serve got better, and my stance at the kitchen got better. Not bad for the first lesson! Highly recommend.

Gary was exactly what we were looking for in an instructor: Friendly, knowledgeable, and able to instill a genuine interest in a new sport. My son and I enjoyed the lessons, improved quickly under his guidance, and are ready to start finding court times to keep it us as a new hobby to share. Thanks, Gary!

What you need to bringBring a fun attitude. Dress to move and to keep warm if it’s chilly outside. Stretch your calves, hamstrings, back, hips, neck and arms before showing up or ask me for stretches and we can take a little time on stretching.
What I can bringI have lots of paddles for you to try out. You don’t need to bring anything, just dress to move. If new to the sport, I definitely suggest not getting a paddle till after your first lesson.
