About Ivan

As an instructor at four different locations, I am deeply immersed in the vibrant world of pickleball, catering to players of all ages and skill levels. One of my latest ventures includes spearheading the introduction of pickleball at a brand-new indoor tennis location, boasting an impressive potential of 24 pickleball courts. Here, I facilitate both children and adult programs, nurturing the growth of pickleball enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. With nearly a year of experience at my second-largest location, equipped with 14 indoor courts, I specialize in corporate functions catering to groups ranging from 50 to 200 people. This dynamic setting allows me to foster teamwork, camaraderie, and skill development among participants, making each event memorable and impactful. In addition to my roles at these locations, I proudly serve as the top pickleball instructor for DC Park Recreational, contributing to the growth and accessibility of pickleball within the community. Through private lessons, clinics, and participation in tournaments, I engage with a wide spectrum of players, conservatively interacting with over 300 individuals each week. With a passion for pickleball and a commitment to fostering its growth, I am dedicated to providing exceptional instruction and fostering a welcoming environment where players can thrive and excel.

About Bryan

I offer fun and tailored pickleball coaching to help beginners and intermediate players elevate their game to the 4.0+ level. I’ve been playing pickleball for the past two years and am excited to share my passion and expertise with players looking to improve their skills. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate player, I’m here to help you reach the next level while having fun on the court. As a former president and captain of the Miami Dade College Table Tennis Club, I bring years of experience in racket sports, leadership, and strategic gameplay. I also stay updated on the latest pickleball trends and rules to ensure my coaching sessions are fresh, relevant, and engaging. My approach is simple: I tailor every session to my clients’ needs. I specialize in analyzing clients’ games to develop a coaching plan specific to their strengths, weaknesses, and style of play. Pickleball is court chess, and I make sure that my clients have the tools to create more checkmates. Whether it’s developing new techniques, sharpening strategies, or observing your gameplay in recreational settings, I’ll work with you to build a personalized improvement plan.

What students say...

"Bryan is the kind of coach you want because he'll tell you what you need to hear. In a win, he'll encourage you to focus on areas of weakness during the game. In a loss, he'll highlight your strengths and discourage you being hard on yourself - everything takes time. I'm relatively new to the world of pickleball, but with his assistance, I feel as if any game is winnable. Aside from on the court coaching, he has also provided me with material to improve the mental aspect of my game. I highly recommend his coaching!
