“Coach Ivan is a fantastic teacher! I’m still in the learning stage and haven’t played a real game yet, but his patience and structured drills have already given me so much confidence. He breaks everything down clearly and makes practice genuinely fun. Can’t wait to take what I’ve learned onto the court — highly recommend him!”Hermelinda V., studentAbout IvanAs an instructor at four different locations, I am deeply immersed in the vibrant world of pickleball, catering to players of all ages and skill levels. One of my latest ventures includes spearheading the introduction of pickleball at a brand-new indoor tennis location, boasting an impressive potential of 24 pickleball courts. Here, I facilitate both children and adult programs, nurturing the growth of pickleball enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds.
With nearly a year of experience at my second-largest location, equipped with 14 indoor courts, I specialize in corporate functions catering to groups ranging from 50 to 200 people. This dynamic setting allows me to foster teamwork, camaraderie, and skill development among participants, making each event memorable and impactful.
In addition to my roles at these locations, I proudly serve as the top pickleball instructor for DC Park Recreational, contributing to the growth and accessibility of pickleball within the community. Through private lessons, clinics, and participation in tournaments, I engage with a wide spectrum of players, conservatively interacting with over 300 individuals each week.
With a passion for pickleball and a commitment to fostering its growth, I am dedicated to providing exceptional instruction and fostering a welcoming environment where players can thrive and excel.Go to profileIvan B.
“Great family lesson for our 2 kids and my husband and I. Paul communicated well ahead of time and showed up with all the equipment we needed. He adjusted the lesson perfectly for the kids and adults together. Thanks Coach Paul!”Aisha W., parentAbout PaulI’ve been playing pickleball for five years and coaching for four. I play almost everyday, and I play regularlyin tournaments. My dupr is currently 4.5. I play mostly in Northern Virginia and DC. I am closely connected to the local pickleball community.
Sports have always been a core part of my life—historically basketball, soccer, and table tennis; now pickleball has emerged as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played.
As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections.
If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.Go to profilePaul P.
