Learn Pickleball with Tom
•
•
After 18 years of racquetball experience, I fell in love with pickleball the first time I played. This simple, fun, and social paddle game, which can also be highly competitive, captivated me immediately. Encouraged by an instructor, I became a certified pickleball coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) and USA Pickleball in March 2023. Since then, I have been regularly instructing beginner and improving players on a weekly basis while continuing to play 3-5 times a week at a ~3.5 level.
