Play Pickleball at Stanbridge Street Park

I remember first hearing about the game from a family friend a few years back. I then saw some matches and thought this is an easy game made for senior citizens. I learned real fast how foolish I was. I went to a local park to try it out for the first time and took to it quickly. Gaining false confidence from this I was asked by some regulars to join them. Thinking to myself that it would not be hard to defeat some senior citizens and move on to some more competitive play with people closer in age and abilities. Let me tell you when I say these regulars showed me no mercy. They were hitting shots by me and blocking my hard drives right back. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that I could barely muster a point against them. It didn’t matter who I played. Men, Women, Young, & Old, all had a turn in taking advantage of me. With my pride bruised & battered and thoroughly humbled by my beating, I vowed from that day on to NEVER be beaten by another grandma again lol 😂 . In all seriousness I fell in love with the game and have been addicted ever since. I’ve dedicated myself to getting better and showing others the joy that is Pickleball. It brings me great pleasure in helping others get better and achieving their goals. The hours spent helping friends and family and practicing is equally as enjoyable as playing it myself. The biggest treasure is teaching my eldest of 3 boys the game and playing with him. Hopefully I will be able to share the love and passion for the game with others. “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”, is what they say, right!

I am a naturally born teacher, and would do this regardless of the money. I've loved pickleball from the start and cherish the connections it fosters! I will allow you to learn at your pace but help you to gain confidence quickly. None of my lessons are set in stone, always fluid based on your strengths and weaknesses.

"I took a beginner and beginner/intermediate class through Universal Rackets, and they were both great! Very informative, not intimidating for a beginner, and Corey as an instructor brings a lot of great coaching techniques and made the sessions unique to what the group’s improvement needs were. Would highly recommend taking a clinic if you’re thinking about it.
