Diagnosed and helped me fix my movement issues.
Nina
Tamara quickly recognized my strengths and used them to tailor each lesson to me. She didnā€™t just point out my challengesā€”she showed me how to use my own style to turn them into advantages. Her patience and ability to adapt to how I learn made the game click for me in a way no other coach had.
Mike
Tamara helped me adapt after an injury so I could stay competitiveā€”and keep enjoying the game.
Dan
Tam brought next-level coachingā€”video, AI metrics, and drills tailored just for me. Smart insights and practical tools that immediately improved my game.
Melissa
Met Tam at open play and she could tell right away I was new. She jumped in for a few games, then pulled me aside to help me actually feel the ball and add power to my serve. She boosted my confidence and even connected me with other beginners so Iā€™d have people to play with. Iā€™m 100% booking more lessons with Tamā€”she makes it fun and way less intimidating.
Nicolette
Tamaraā€™s coaching completely transformed my game. In just a few months, she taught me everything I needed to know to reach a 3.6 level. Her clear instruction, patience, and passion for the sport made learning not only fast but also fun.

About your pickleball coach

I fell in love with pickleball in 2023, and it quickly became my healthy obsession. The game helped me shed over 100 pounds, sharpen my skills through lessons, and inspired me to pursue PCI Certification. Now, I share that passion by teaching beginners and intermediates of all agesā€”helping them learn the rules, build confidence, and discover just how addictive and fun pickleball can be.
