With a lifelong background in racket sports, including tennis, table tennis, and a passion for pickleball, I combine my experience as a competitive 5.0-level pickleball medalist with three Division 1 tennis championships and a Southern California CIF semifinal appearance. I currently teach at Mulholland Hills Country Club and Mika's Tennis Academy and have previously worked as a Special Education instructor, Registered Behavior Therapist, Adaptive Skills Clinician, Mobility Trainer, and Physical Therapist Aide. I hold a Master's degree in Special Education with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis and a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Biomechanics. My students have earned medals from the 2.5–4.5 levels and qualified for USA Pickleball Nationals. I'm also proud to partner with leading pickleball brands, including Selkirk, Honolulu Pickleball Company, Osaka and Spartus, allowing my students access to exclusive discounts on premium equipment. Let's improve your game, reach new heights, and most importantly, have fun!
"Eric is a fantastic coach, highly recommend!!!

Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully. Let's smash some volleys and serve up smiles together on the court!
"terrific coach, informed caring and supportive!!!

As a pro player, experienced coach, and multiple 5.0 gold medalist in the PPA’s and the APP, I have the expertise to help you hone your skills and truly master pickleball. Our journey together will begin with understanding your aspirations: What are your goals with pickleball? Where do you envision yourself a year from now? From there, we'll dive deep into the art of dinking, focusing on grip, form, positioning, and movement. The fundamentals are essential, and based on our initial assessment, we'll chart a path tailored to your needs. Let's elevate your game together!
"Cori is a professional through and through. She is great at explaining concepts and demonstrating technique. She also is able to customize the lesson based on your concerns and needs.
My coaching philosophy is simple: every session should be as enjoyable as it is instructive, no matter your skill level. I take pride in introducing newcomers to the world of pickleball and relish in the opportunity to elevate the game for those looking to step up their play. I've had the pleasure of teaching with the fantastic team at Reaxn Pickleball, right at the Burbank Tennis Center, as well as various other Rec Centers. My goal is always the same – to make sure that fun and improvement go hand in hand for everyone. So, whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or aiming to dominate the court, I'm here to make it happen. Let's dive into this journey together!
"Gary is an amazing coach! Very structured training plan and incredible vibe. 100% recommend.

Meet Pickleball Pro Levon! I've been immersed in the world of tennis for 30 years, and about 4 years ago, I delved into the realm of pickleball. As a 4.5 rated player, I've undergone professional training to hone my skills. When it comes to my lessons, I believe in the power of simplicity. I emphasize slowing down the game, being mindful of your moves, and understanding the art of resetting the ball. I'll also guide you through the basic rules and aim to simplify the complexities of the game for you. Let's make pickleball both fun and intuitive together!
