“Kirk has been an amazing coach for our 11 yr old boy! He has gotten so much better and Kirk was great at adjusting to our son and how he learned: )”Cynthia E., parentAbout KirkMy journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time!
For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college. A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court. I'm here to help.Go to profileKirk F.

“Mike started by assessing my abilities through warm ups and drills, then focuses lessons based on my abilities. He's great at not only analyzing strengths and weaknesses, but providing feedback in a constructive manner. He's patient and knowledgeable, and after only one lesson, I learned enough skills and rules to play a game! The drills he takes me through resemble game play. I endorse Mike for any level player looking to learn and improve!”Melissa R., student
