Play Pickleball at Missouri Pickleball Club - Ellisville

Bio: As a former USPTA teaching professional, I bring proven coaching expertise to the fast changing world of pickleball. My teaching philosophy centers on meeting each student exactly where they are—whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to add a 3rd shot DRIP or backhand flick to your arsenal. I specialize in building solid fundamentals through proper stroke mechanics, but always at a pace that feels comfortable and encouraging. As a senior player, I understand the unique considerations that come with starting or improving later in life, though I genuinely enjoy working with players of every age and skill level. My lesson price reflects INDOOR winter rates. I teach at either Missouri Pickleball Club location-Fenton or Ellisville. When you book with me, everything is included in the lesson price—scheduled court time, guest fee, plenty of balls, paddles (if needed), and a reserved space where we can focus entirely on your improvement without distractions. I enjoy group lessons, so book with one, two, or three friends and lower the price per student cost! I will teach at other locations if a court can be reserved and the student handles making the reservation.

Bio: I’m a dual-certified Pickleball Coach (PPR and IPTPA) who loves helping beginners and early-intermediate players level up fast. I specialize in teaching 2.5–3.5 players the what, how, and why of good pickleball so you build real skills and confidence—not just shots that work “sometimes.” I’ve coached hundreds of players at Vetta Sports and even taught as a Visiting Pickleball Instructor at Club Med Punta Cana. I bring drills and techniques I’ve learned directly from top pros and tailor them to make learning easier, clearer, and more fun. I’m a competitive 4.0+ player with medals from regional tournaments and experience on the inaugural St. Louis Shock Minor League Pickleball team. I also use tech and new AI tools to help pinpoint the quickest ways for you to improve. Let’s get you playing smarter, stronger, and having more fun on the court.
