Play Pickleball at Broad Ripple Park

I am a former NCAA D2 tennis player and NCCAA D2 basketball player with a deep passion for sports. I have three years of experience as a USTA/NJTL tennis instructor, working with both youth and adult programs. As a PPR Certified Coach with a youth endorsement, I bring my expertise and enthusiasm to the court. I’m also a 4.0 pickleball player, a multiple gold medalist, and a bronze medalist in the 3.5 Men’s Singles at the Pickleball US Open. I love making pickleball fun and accessible to everyone, and I’m excited to help players of all levels improve and enjoy the game!

"James is incredibly passionate about both the sport and coaching. His attention to detail and ability to break down skills into clear, understandable steps is amazing! He explains strategy, positioning, and technique in a way that truly makes sense!

5.0 player and experienced coach. I've played in 100-plus venues in 5 years. I love working with all levels of students. If you have a tennis court in your complex, I’ll travel to you and do a lesson on your home court. Even if you’ve only dabbled in racquet sports, I can show you how the skills learned in sports we played growing up can transfer to the pickleball court. Pickleball is great as it gets you off the couch, you’ll make new friends, get a decent workout and use your brain to make lots of split-second decisions about how and where you want to hit the ball each time.

"Greg is a very patient and encouraging coach, one who focuses on the safety aspects of the game all while making it fun!
