Play Pickleball at Canas Tamiami Park

With a lifelong passion for sports and coaching, my journey has taken me from playing organized sports from age 6 through high school, including a semi-pro football season, to coaching high school basketball and little league baseball for 11 rewarding years. Alongside my love for athletics, I've shared my musical talents by teaching guitar and percussion. I channel my coaching expertise into mentoring elementary students in after-school basketball programs. It's a privilege to inspire young athletes and musicians, nurturing their skills and passion for the game and music.

"After only 1 session, I already feel much more comfortable on the court. Excellent instructor. Highly recommend.

"Jonny was amazing! Super helpful, patient, and really great at breaking down the fundamentals. He helped me understand not just how to hit a backhand and generate topspin, but why those shots are so important strategically. That kind of coaching makes a big difference. The courts were pretty full, which was the only minor hiccup, but Jonny handled it like a pro and even gave me extra time. Highly recommend him if you’re serious about improving your pickleball game!
