Learn Pickleball with Kevin
•
•
Hi, I'm Kevin! I'm a 5.0 pickleball player and PPA certified instructor with 5+ years of experience in tournaments, leagues and rec play, I didn't have experience with racket sports before joining pickleball, and a key aspect of my coaching is teaching pickleball strategy + the mental side of the sport alongside technical form and shot-making. For those looking to get a feel for what my lessons look like, we'll work primarily on serving/returning serves, third shot drops + drives, dinking, volleying and strategy. I keep my lessons lighthearted- my primary pickleball tournament partner is my mom and my core passion for pickleball comes from the sport's ability to bring people of all ages and background together.

Working with Kevin has been a game-changer! I’ve been playing recreationally for a couple of years, but I was stuck in a plateau. Kevin took the time to assess my skills and then tailored the lessons to focus on areas I needed work. His approach is incredibly patient, and he breaks down complex shots in a way that makes them easier to understand. The way he explains footwork and positioning has completely transformed my court awareness. Plus, his positive attitude and encouragement keep me motivated. I’m now much more confident on the court and winning more games. Definitely worth every lesson

I’ve been playing pickleball for a while but wanted to take my game to the next level. Kevin did an amazing job breaking down the fundamentals while also teaching me advanced techniques. His feedback is clear, and he’s great at keeping the lessons fun while still challenging. I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my consistency and strategy.
