“Michael is a fantastic coach! He’s also an excellent communicator and I really appreciated his professionalism. He’s incredibly kind and treated my 11 year old son like gold. If you are looking for a thoughtful, kind and fun pickelball coach look no further, you found him! I’m excited for our 2nd lesson with Michael. We are hoping and praying to become a mother and son pickelball duo bringing everyone smiles and laughter! God Bless You, All!”Emily W., parent
About MichaelI started playing pickleball 3 years ago and I play almost every day in advanced level open play and ladder sessions. I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to go from not knowing how to play to being a solid pickup player who can play in advanced level games.
I still know exactly what it’s like to be a brand new beginner and trying to figure out the game especially all the rules. My coaching style is easygoing and I try to keep the lessons light hearted so everyone feels welcome and comfortable.
I like to use a mix of drills and gameplay with real time instruction and feedback during my lessons. A group of 3 or 4 students makes for a great class because I can play a doubles game with you while teaching you how the game works.
I can also advise you on equipment, where to play, what apps to download to find games and leagues, etc.

I recently took a pickleball lesson with Michael and it was a great experience! Michael is very knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic, making the session both fun and productive. We covered lots of ground, from proper grip and footwork, to different kinds of shots and court strategy. Michael broke things down in a way that was easy to understand, offering personalized feedback and encouragement throughout. This was my first lesson, and I already feel an improvement. I can’t wait for the next lesson! If you’re thinking about trying pickleball or want to sharpen your skills, Michael is your guy!
Oh, the lesson was quite helpful, especially with volley and drop shot drills that really clarified some techniques for me. Still, I think more practice on those specific shots would be beneficial. There's definitely room for refinement. The serve technique also saw some improvement, which was good to see. Honestly, Michael's approach feels quite measured and straightforward, making it easy to stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. If you're interested in fine-tuning your pickleball skills, I’d say give him a try.
Michael is an excellent teacher. This was my first time playing pickleball. He taught me some of the basics including the rules. Two other players joined us for my first pickleball game. Unfortunately, I lost my balance a couple of times and fell. Michael was concerned about my balance and suggested I see a PT to work on strengthening and balance before continuing with this sport. I feel like he did a great job dealing with my physical limitations. I give him 5 stars.
