"Excellent coach and great coaching!

At 59 years old, I have a lifelong passion for racquet sports that began when I picked up tennis at the age of nine. I dedicated over 25 years to competitive tennis, honing my skills and technique. Transitioning into Beach Tennis at 40, I spent another five years competing at a high level. Seven years ago, I discovered Pickleball and instantly fell in love with the game. As a 4.5 level player, I am enthusiastic about sharing my expertise and skills with others who are eager to start or improve their game.

"Coach Marco was AMAZING. He showed up early and we got straight to work. He immediately started with dinks to assess my skill level, which I really appreciated. From there, everything felt intentional. The pace was perfect, the drills were exactly what I needed, and somehow the entire 90 minutes flew by. Overall, it was a fantastic lesson. I truly couldn’t ask for a better coach, and the facility is also very good. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Houston!
