Learn Pickleball with Nick

5.0 55 reviews

Hi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading as a head tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game. Recently won the Gold Medal 🏅in the Mixed Doubles at the Tri-Valley Pickle Ball Championships.

Had a wonderful first lesson with Nick! So thoughtful and easy going. Focused on me and my needs. I was already doing better by end of lesson! Thank you so much! So looking forward to next lesson!

Very attentive to what I wanted to achieve from my lesson. Even during a game Nick would explain how to improve the shots I took.

Nick is an excellent teacher and he knows advanced techniques as well as how to help you build an excellent foundation of the game. Without a solid understanding of the game and technique you can’t advance quickly. I had a previous lesson out of state, and the instructor was skilled but couldn’t break things down like Nick naturally does. My husband and I took lessons together and we have so much fun with Nick. A great sense of humor is a bonus! We both enjoy every minute of our time with Nick and can’t wait for the next lesson. We got very lucky- and encourage anyone whether advanced or newbie to get great instruction from Nick. Can’t wait to watch him play in a tournament- that’s what a great guy he is!
