About your pickleball coach

Pickleball has become one of my favorite ways to connect with people, stay active, and have fun, and I love helping others experience the same thing! As a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach and mental health therapist in training, I focus on creating a supportive, encouraging, and judgment-free environment where players feel comfortable learning and growing. Whether you're new to pickleball or looking to sharpen your skills, I'll meet you where you're at and help you build confidence on the court. Together, we can work on specific areas of your game through personalized lessons tailored to your goals. My goal is not only to help you improve your game, but also to make sure you enjoy the process along the way!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start off with a quick warm-up and hit a few balls around to see where you’re at. Then we can focus on understanding your personal goal and start learning the basic rules and shots.
Lesson 2-3Build on where we left off in the first lesson and begin learning concepts such as grip, stance and strokes to feel more consistent. We will also go over some basic movement and positioning to improve your confidence on the court.
Lesson 4-10Customize to each person’s progress and goals. We will continue to build technical skills and get comfortable with different game situations such as serving, returning, transition zone and non-volley zone (*the kitchen*). Focus on consistency, accuracy and confidence while having fun!
Lesson 11+Focus on applying the skills we’ve covered in real game situations. We will also identify areas for improvement. Then you will begin exploring with more advanced shots such as drives, drops, resets and types of volleys.

Max Chang
I have a tennis background but it was hard for me to transfer the skills to the dinking and drop shots. Coach R helped me develop the soft game very effectively!
James C
Right from the start of the lesson, coach Rich was very supportive and nonjudgmental, even when I was missing every ball. Very encouraging!
Daniel H.
Really great coach, have mastery of game skill sets. Able to explain and demonstrate fundamental well. Awesome personality to work with.
Taylor H
Very down to earth person with a high football IQ. Shows great patience and dedication.
Julie W
What stood out most was how approachable and nonjudgy Richard was. He met me where I was skill-wise and helped me improve without making the lesson feel intimidating
Sarah Kim
Richard made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. I was nervous as a beginner but he was patient with me and very encouraging. I had a great time an learned a lot.
