Upland Sports ArenaPickleball Venue in Upland, CA

PPR Certified Professional Pickleball Trainer. I have been playing Pickleball for over 8 years and play Tournaments at high level 50 plus 4.5 - 5.0 level (4.83 DUPR rated) 4.5 PPA Gold and Silver Medalist. Also, I am an experienced trainer for over 4 years. Currently, I am Team Engage Paddle Representative and distributor and have Demo paddles for players to tryout. My happy place is playing and training players by sharing my skills and experience with others to enjoy this great game of pickleball!

"The lesson wasn't too intense, but I did pick up some helpful tips on controlling my paddle better, especially when returning quick shots. Still, I think a few more practical drills could make a difference. Kurt's approach is pretty straightforward, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus, I’ll see stronger results soon. If you're looking to sharpen your skills, he’s worth trying out.

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.
