Brendan Dugan profile
About Brendan

I got into pickleball after a few friends dragged me along to play. Now I’m hooked and absolutely love playing. I have taught many friends and newcomers how to play and excited to teach you.

What students say...

"Brendan's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my dink shot technique, which I’d been struggling with. He explained how foot positioning can really make a difference, though I still have some work to do. Still, I’m optimistic about applying the tips he shared and hoping to improve further soon. If you’re looking to fine-tune specific skills, it’s worth giving Brendan a try.

Brendan is terrific! I just had my first lesson with him and I am definitely continuing. He is a natural instructor. Patient, focused on helping me improve, and providing excellent drills. He observed my play closely and provided incredibly helpful tips and fixes that instantly enhanced my game. Brendan is also super nice and personable. I am excited to keep working with Brendan to improve my game. I only wish I had started sooner!

Brendan is an excellent pickleball coach. He has a great way of explaining techniques clearly and breaking things down so they’re easy to understand. What I appreciate most is how he not only points out where I need to improve, but also highlights the things I’m already doing well. His ability to analyze both strengths and opportunities for growth makes the sessions really valuable and motivating.
