Play Pickleball at Thornden Park (tennis court)

MILWAUKEE area! I have now been playing pickleball ever since 2022 when the pickle wave took over. I am advanced in pickleball strategy and technique and would love to help expand the awesome sport! I also play Padel, a primarily Spanish sport. I have a ton of experience in racket sports and have recently started playing in competitive pickleball tournaments, mostly doubles. Tennis has been my greatest passion ever since I made the Varsity Singles roster for my high school tennis team, Nicolet High School, as a freshman. I’ve been coaching for 5 years now and have luckily been able to share my technical skills as an instructor with a local country club near my college campus. A vast majority of tennis skills do translate to pickleball so let me impart my experience on you! I have experience coaching across age groups, from 9-year olds in red ball to 16-year olds fighting to make their high school Varsity teams, as well as the occasional parent looking to up their skills. I happily coach both boys and girls of all ages. Can also coach in Spanish. I am back in Milwaukee County for the summer, where I am a sports intern with CBS. I am now a rising senior at Syracuse University and am not sure if I will continue coaching after graduation. I make sessions in hour package deals, hour and a half package deals (my recommended time), or by themselves, and each session starts at $40/hour. Come learn from your local pickleball expert! Thanks and happy hitting!

"From Luis McDougall, the tennis 🎾 partner I’ve played with more than anyone in my life - David is a skilled and experienced tennis player with a background in competitive play and leadership. A former high school team captain and multi-year state qualifier, he now plays for the Syracuse University club tennis team. Along with his counterpunching style and analytical approach to offensive gameplay, David excels at reading the game and efficiently understanding players’ strengths and weaknesses. I don’t really play pickleball but when I do play with him, Hes a strong defender and a good communicator of when he’s approaching the net, which obviously is pretty important in this sport. I have personally coached alongside him previously in both tennis and pickleball and would recommend him as a mentor for players of all levels.
