About your pickleball coach
With a lifelong passion for racket sports, particularly tennis and ping pong, my journey took an exciting turn when I discovered pickleball five years ago. Captivated by the game's fast-paced action and strategic depth, I quickly immersed myself, drawing on my extensive racket sports background. Recognizing my talent, the founder of Revolin Sports invited me to play a tournament with him. Leveraging my experience in tennis teaching, I seamlessly transitioned into coaching pickleball, catering to a growing community of players making the switch. For the past two years, I've shared my expertise part-time at MVP, coaching both tennis and pickleball enthusiasts. Whether on the court or the gym, my goal is simple: to inspire and empower players of all levels to excel in their chosen racket sport, one swing at a time.

Mark is a great coach. He has helped me correct my errors and develop new skills. He is kind and patient and has a great understanding of pickelball.

I can’t say enough good things about Mark. I started playing pickleball as a 3.0-3.5 with a tennis background. Working with him in pickleball has been so good. He’s brought me to a 3.5-4.0 player and still improving. He’s such a personable guy that listens and watches what you need. He asks what I think I need to work on and what he observes and see what I need. He’s been such an integral part of my pickleball game thus far. I can’t recommend him enough.

I am learning a lot from Mark with pickleball lessons. He is a patient teacher who is excellent at getting the basic principles of pickleball without making it too complicated. Great fun.

Hi Mark. I wanted to thank you for coaching me. I started playing pickleball a few months ago. Initially, I came to your pickleball drills on Saturdays at MVP. I found these extremely useful. I then had a few one on one lessons from you and it has made a huge difference in my game. I have been playing pb for the last 3 months and am able to hold up to picklers that have been playing over 4 years. I look forward to our lessons. Thanks again! Samir Rajani

I have been taking lessons from Mark for a month now and I am very very happy with the improvement in my game. He is very good at assessing your current level and providing the appropriate instruction and drills, just provides excellent coaching! I have been at 3.5 for a while now and the youtube videos just could not get me to 4.0. With his help, I'm getting there quick. Thanks Mark! Highly recommend him!

Working with teenagersSimilar to what's seen in beginner and advanced lesson plans based on teenagers ability.
What you need to bringGood pair of tennis shoes. You don't even need to bring a paddle. I have you covered and can even recommend one if you're looking to get one. In sweater weather, bring a sweater; if it rains, bring a coat. I'm joking. We don't play in the rain, of course.😉
What I can bringI rep paddles for my good friend, Hugh Davis, the founder of Revolin Sports. So, if you're ever looking to demo any Revolin paddles, you can demo one. If you like the paddle, use PROMO Code: “mark20” for a 20% discount code on all paddles and merchandise.🏓
