Play Pickleball at Cavalier Trail Park

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with experience competing regularly in tournaments. I play nearly every day and am deeply connected to the local pickleball community, particularly in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a central part of my life—incl8uding basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball has proven to be the most engaging, strategic, and social sport I’ve played. As a coach, I enjoy drilling and playing alongside my students while teaching shot mechanics, strategy, and smart decision-making. I also help connect players to the broader local pickleball community so they can continue to grow beyond lessons. I invite you to train with me and take your game to the next level.

"We had a very good lesson with Paul and we highly recommend him

I'm a Pickleball expert with a solid foundation in tennis, encompassing strategy, playing skills, and unbridled enthusiasm for both sports. Let's ace the court with a fusion of skills and a love for the game!

"Tanav helped me transition from a tennis player into a pickleball player. He’s super supportive, super humble, and super skilled at introducing new skills. He was very observant and instructed me on what adjustments I needed to make. He’s very adapt and encouraging, and I improved a lot even after a single lesson. At first I couldn’t even hit the ball on my forehand side, and now it’s my killer shot. I have complete confidence stepping onto the pickleball court. I’m very grateful.
