I have been playing pickleball for nearly two years and coaching for nearly a year. Prior to pickleball, I played high level (1600) table tennis, recreational tennis, and I played and coached competitive soccer and futsal. Sports have always been a part of my life, and pickleball is the most interesting, engaging and social sport I have ever played. Now that I am deeply involved in the local pickleball community, playing recreationally and in local tournaments, coaching beginners and intermediate players, coaching the local high school team, I find that coaching enables me to give back.

Super patient and met my kids were they were. It was inspiring to watch them go from limited skill to taking his feedback into action.

PJ is an amazing coach! I have taken over 20 lessons with him (individually and as a group), and I have gotten more than I could have ever expected out of the lessons. He’s very knowledgeable, and he explains pickleball concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He also creatively makes modifications as needed in drilling exercises and in recreational games to even out the level of play between all players. I look forward to taking additional lessons with him and continuing to increase my skills.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a pickleball lesson, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain the rules and techniques in a way that was easy to understand. The lesson was well-structured, allowing us to progressively build our skills and confidence on the court. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Paul for pickleball lessons. I can't wait to book my next session!
