Play Pickleball at Saddleback College Pickleball Courts

Discovering pickleball was life-changing, and sharing that passion with others is incredibly rewarding. My tournament experience combined with a year of dedicated coaching allows me to guide players of all levels toward reaching their full potential on the court. Let's unlock your inner champion together!

"Awesome coach! Fun and to the point

I've won 5 National Gold Medals in singles, mixed, and men's pickleball events and hold an IPTPA Level 2 certification. With over 11 years of experience and a strong passion for the sport, I'd love to share my knowledge with you. I'm dedicated to teaching the fundamentals, clarifying the rules, and helping you see real improvement in your game, even after just one lesson.

"Coach Dean and his lesson plan was absolutely perfect for me. We/he spent time evaluating my skill level set up the lesson accordingly. The drills were designed to focus on the fundamentals which I really appreciate. He gave me an honest evaluation of strengths and weaknesses in a very positive way. Coach Dean really helped from the ground up with clear direction that made sense. Every bit of instruction came with an explanation and action/example behind it. I can’t wait to get a couple more lessons in and see where my game goes with Coach Deans instruction.
