Play Pickleball at Walter Reed Recreation Center

Bio: I have been playing pickleball for almost four years and coaching pickleball for two and a half years. I play almost everyday and play in tournaments regularly. I have strong connections in the DMV area, centered around Arlington. Sports have always been a part of my life, and pickleball is the most interesting, engaging and social sport I have ever played. I enjoy drilling and playing with my students, teaching strategy, different shots, and connecting my students with the local pickleball community. Now that I am deeply involved in the local pickleball community, playing recreationally and in local tournaments, coaching beginners and intermediate players, coaching the local high school team, I find that coaching enables me to give back.

Bio: My name’s Connor, and I’m a 20-year-old pickleball enthusiast with a 5.0 rating sponsored by Neonic Pickleball. I dove into pickleball just two years ago, despite having no prior experience with racket sports. Before that, I played nearly every sport imaginable, primarily shining as a national-level hockey goalie. I take pride in my understanding of body mechanics, which helps me break down complex movements; for instance, I often liken the weight transfer in a serve to skipping a stone and a backhand flick to throwing a frisbee.
