Play Pickleball at Rosland Park

I grew up playing tennis and ping pong, but my world changed in 2020 when I discovered pickleball. Instantly captivated, I became a PPR Pickleball Certified Coach and delved into tournaments across Minnesota. What I cherish most about pickleball is its ability to unite people of all ages, fostering exercise, enjoyment, and social connections. Engaging with the community, meeting new players, and sharing insights on technique and strategy are my passions. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your game, I offer private and group lessons to elevate your skills on the court.

"We want more sessions!

PPR and DUPR certified coach, I’ve taught hundreds of courses and thousands of students from beginners to high-intermediates. In addition to private lessons, I teach at multiple facilities throughout the Twin Cites - Including Bloomington and Hopkins Community Ed programs, Project SOAR, Hopkins Activity Center, Bloomington and Hopkins Elementary Schools, Legacy Pickleball and more. My teaching philosophy is to ensure students enjoy a fun and engaging atmosphere while building their skills, mechanics, techniques and strategies through hands-on development and entertaining games. A willing to learn and big smiles are a requirement!

"David is a very patient coach. He was very clear when he explained the rules of pickleball. He was able to help each one of us but still pay attention to the other players. He was very encouraging which made us want to come back for more lessons. He provided easy exercises to do on our own. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of taking up pickleball.

With 3 years of teaching pickleball, I tailor sessions to help you excel and enjoy the game. I am dedicated to helping you reach your full potential on the court! I’m a strategic player, all about making the right decision decisions and executing them correctly. I’ll teach you how to outsmart your opponents with patience, technique and placement.
