Learn Pickleball with Ray

With over three years of immersive pickleball playing experience and six months as an IPTPA Certified Teaching Professional, pickleball has become my ultimate passion. I find immense joy in sharing my knowledge and love for the game with others through coaching. The fact that most of my current students are repeat students speaks volumes about the value they find in my instruction. I cherish the opportunity to continue guiding them on their pickleball journey.

Coach Ray stimulates discussion and learning of pickleball skills, rules, and etiquette. I definitely learn something new every time I work with him, and slowly but surely my game is improving.
