Play Pickleball at Mountain View Neighborhood Park

With a lifelong passion for racquet and paddle sports, I've dedicated six years to playing, competing, and teaching pickleball. My journey in racquet sports began with junior and collegiate tennis, and later, I transitioned to racquetball, achieving remarkable success with 14 national titles in singles and doubles, a world doubles title as part of Team USA, and a world ranking of #3 on the pro tour. Pickleball has been a natural extension of my racquet sports expertise, and in every tournament I've entered, I've emerged victorious or landed in the top three. My love for these games drives me to teach and share my knowledge, making me a dedicated and accomplished pickleball player and instructor. Please note: I am available other days and times not shown in my availability. If you have a special scheduling request, please contact me through app support with 2-3 time/day options to have best chance 1 will work for me too. Thank you.

"We practice Pickleball 101.

I am a 4.8-rated pickleball player with nearly three years of experience in the sport. My coaching background in table tennis has given me a strong foundation in understanding and teaching the technical details of any game. I am passionate about helping others improve their skills and enjoy diving deep into the intricacies of pickleball.

"Honestly, the lesson with Kip was quite helpful, especially the emphasis on how to better position myself during rallies. The lesson highlighted key strategies that I can definitely build on, though I think I could use some resets to improve my consistency. Still, I feel more confident about my shot placement now. If you're looking to get a solid foundation and work on specific skills, I’d suggest giving Kip a try.

"I had a great experience learning pickleball from Coach Hegong Wei. With their clear and encouraging guidance, I was finally able to improve two areas I used to struggle with — my backhand and my smash. Both shots used to feel awkward , but he broke them down step by step, helped me correct my form, and gave me practical drills to build muscle memory. I used to lack confidence when switching to my backhand. Thanks to our lessons, I’ve made real progress and feel more well-rounded in my game. Each session was fun, focused, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend for players who want to grow their skills.
