Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships.

Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college. A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court. I'm here to help. ## Pack prices - 1 prepaid lesson: $135 total, $135 per lesson - 3 prepaid lessons: $285 total, $95 per lesson - 10 prepaid lessons: $800 total, $80 per lesson ## Where lessons happen - Lawler Park, Skokie, Illinois - Gompers (Samuel) Park, Chicago, Illinois - Welles Park, Chicago, Illinois - Chandler-Newberger Community Center, Evanston, Illinois - Pickleball Courts in the Woods (SWP), Riverwoods, Illinois - James Park, Evanston, Illinois - Wilmette Community Playfield, Wilmette, Illinois - Hamlin Park (Tennis Court), Skokie, Illinois - Palmhouse, Evanston, Illinois - Vattman Park (Tennis Court), Wilmette, Illinois - Woodland Park, Park Ridge, Illinois - Gilson Park (tennis court), Wilmette, Illinois - Leahy Park (Tennis Court), Evanston, Illinois - Nichols School, Evanston, Illinois ## Reviews > My first lesson with Kirk was quite helpful, especially since he covered some key techniques that really stuck with me, though I still see plenty of room for improvement.
