Having had a life long passion for racquet sports (Certified Tennis PTR coach 20+ years and national tournament player in Platform Tennis), I was delighted to discover Pickleball 10 years ago when I moved to Naples, Florida. I was fortunate enough to win the Gold Medal in my first Men’s Open Tournament at Veterans Park. A couple of years later, I also won a gold at the US Open. Competing and playing Pickleball for exercise is so exhilarating and addictive. I met so many new players along the way who have asked me to help start them safely or improve their mid level games. I truly enjoy coaching and received my Pickleball IPTPA Teachers certification in 2017.

Todd was great! He explained the rules in an easy to understand manner, provided strategies of the game and balanced the lesson well between hands-on play and instruction. He was very patient either the beginners and had a great sense of humor as well. We felt like we were playing with a friend !

I was looking for a new hobby to keep active and stumbled upon pickleball. After some research, I found Todd, an IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructor in Naples, and boy am I glad I did! He has a calm demeanor, which helped me feel at ease as a newcomer. Todd's lessons are well-structured, and his experience as a former tennis pro definitely shows. 5 stars.

Todd was incredibly patient, taking the time to break down the fundamentals of the game, and ensuring that I understood every step. He's a natural teacher with a wealth of experience - I mean, the guy won a gold medal at the US Open! Definitely recommend.

My husband and I had a lesson with Todd and it was fantastic. We learned the rules, strategy and played a couple of games as well. We’re looking forward to more time with Todd on the Pickleball court!

Advanced training plan
Youth players
Working with kidsKids have no fear , so let’s start them young.
Mixing ball skills with fun games , has my younger students looking forward to more Pickleball. This is a great game for multi generational athletic healthy fun ….starting around 6 is OK
With other siblings is recommended.
Working with teenagersThis Pickleball is pretty hip .
The growth for teen and college competitions is expanding fast.
A few lessons to develop confidence and a sound foundation should have your older kids up and running, literally !
If they want to schedule a weekly
Play lesson, we keep their skills up and continue to improve their competitive results.
What you need to bringIt is a good idea to bring a small towel and water bottle to the courts. Many people want to wear a hat and bring their sunglasses also. Pickleball is pretty casual, so dress comfortably .
What I can bringI am an active Team Engage teaching partner. I have a good variety of great Engage Paddles for my clients to demo. I also provide all the Pickleballs we will use .
On occasion, we will set up my own personal portable net as needed.
