Hi, I am a 20-year-old student at UCR, and over the past 2 years, I have developed a passion for pickleball. My journey with pickleball began in 2022, igniting a passion that has quickly propelled me to a DUPR rating of 4.85. In the 2 tournaments I have competed in, I remain unbeaten with a 19-0 record. Beyond tournaments, my skills have been consistently tested and proven on the courts of Maple Hill, iPickle Whittier, and iPickle LaHabra, where I perform well against players rated 4.5 and above. Drawing from my background as a soccer coach, I understand the transformative power of mentorship and am eager to share my pickleball knowledge to help others excel in the sport. With a commitment to continuous improvement and a drive to empower aspiring players, I'm dedicated to guiding fellow enthusiasts towards reaching their full potential on the pickleball court.

Hi, I’m Coach Jason, a dedicated pickleball coach with 3 years of experience helping players of all levels improve their game, from beginners to competitive 4.0 players looking to sharpen their skills, strategy, and consistency. My coaching focuses on building a strong foundation that includes footwork, stroke mechanics, shot selection, court positioning and recognizing patterns. Encouragement is a big part of my coaching style. I believe players improve faster when they feel supported.
"I came to Jason with 3 years experience playing pickleball already so I wasn't sure how much a few coaching sessions could offer me at this stage. I was pleasantly surprised. Jason has a sharp eye for the finer details of the game, and he quickly identified habits in my technique that I didn't even know were holding me back. His feedback is specific, constructive, and easy to apply — I saw a noticeable improvement in my consistency and court positioning within just a few sessions. What I appreciated most was that he challenged me without ever making the sessions feel overwhelming. If you think you've outgrown beginner coaching, I'd encourage you to give Jason a chance — he absolutely has something to offer at every level.
