Play Pickleball at Goodyear Recreation Campus

Tennis has been my lifelong passion, having competed as an experienced player for many years. With 25 years of playing experience, I'm dedicated to fostering a love for the game in players of all levels. My goal is to help you improve your technique while building confidence and a deep appreciation for this incredible sport.

"Incredible first lesson, really clear instructions and help drills to work on a variety of shots

I'm a dynamic sports enthusiast with a knack for leadership and a passion for competition. From college tennis to captaining a 4.5 Men's League team in Phoenix, I've thrived in various athletic arenas. As a head coach for high school volleyball and captain for advanced adult volleyball teams, I've honed my skills on and off the court. I compete daily with top-rated players in pickleball, securing victories like the AZ vs. Las Vegas Asian doubles tournament. Beyond my successes, I've also shared my expertise, teaching and mentoring others, including my sister, who has risen to become the #1 female pickleball player in Asia.

"My coach ensured I continued to develop skills from one lesson to another.

As a 5.0 Pro DUPR-rated player and PPR Certified Professional, with a background as a 3-time Junior National Champion, I bring over 13 years of dedicated pickleball experience to my role as the Pickleball Coach at Grand Canyon University. My journey in pickleball has been defined by a commitment to excellence both on and off the court, aiming to inspire and mentor players of all levels to achieve their best in this dynamic sport.

"Great Player, Fun Guy to be around.

I am honored to serve as the Head Coach of Club Sports Pickleball at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, where I bring my expertise as a PPR certified professional coach and IPTPA Certified Instructor. With over 30 years of coaching experience, I specialize in providing tailored instruction through individual sessions, group classes, and clinics. Previously, I co-owned Armour Pickleball and currently teach as a professor in the College of Theology in Phoenix, AZ, while also serving as a USA Pickleball Ambassador, promoting the sport's growth and community engagement nationwide.

"The drills you provided were very helpful! Thank you so much!

I've been playing Pickleball for close to 20 years and didn't have anyone to teach me back then except other players so I formed some bad habits. Some of those I have fixed but still in the process of breaking the rest. I can teach new folks the game and coach players that are looking to become a better player by breaking some old habits while acquiring some beneficial ones.

"Excellent coaching, knowledge of rules, strategy. Able to demonstrate and has an impressive playing ability. Sense of humor, consistent reminders, and patience. Will take more lessons from Ed! He’s great!

I’m known for my patience and intuition, which helps me tailor lessons precisely to your needs and goals. With experience as a medalist in multiple tournaments, including competing at the 2018 Nationals and earning a silver medal at the 2019 Ruidoso 4.5, I bring a proven track record of success to my teaching. My approach focuses on adapting to each individual’s style to ensure the best possible outcome. I also now have a ball machine. This helps maximize our lessons and helps you as the student to develop “muscle memory” of the various strokes in pickleball. I highly recommend to any student to allow me to teach at the EŌS on 75 th ave and Encanto.

"Tim is knowledgeable and patient. He does a great job at tailoring his instructions to the lesson recipient! After just one lesson, I say a huge improvement in my serving technique - I was previously only in 20% of the time and am now up to 80%!

I have been playing the game of pickleball for three years now. I love the game as well as coaching. I have played many other sports and coached kids in basketball and football. Pickleball is my new found sport.
