"Had the first lesson with coach Antoine, he is great! Started off with talking about our goals, and then assessing our skills, then working on each of our weaknesses and things to improve. He also gave us lots of pointers and strategies that are very helpful. Overall I am very happy that I gave this a try and it was time well spent!

This is Roger Lee.  I am a PPR certified coach and teaching pro at Crow Canyon Country Club where I lead the pickleball programming organizing clinics and skills and drills workshops, and pickleball social activities. Because there is such a large demand for training, I also lead the “Train the Trainer” sessions to teach new coaches.  I grew up playing tennis through high school and college, played racquetball competitively afterwards, but have really enjoyed playing and teaching Pickleball. I promote pickleball everywhere I go across the US, and in countries that have never seen a pickleball like parts of Uganda and Kenya.  With eight years of coaching experience and a National Medalist title, I'm dedicated to helping you excel in pickleball. I offer tailored coaching to unlock your potential while fostering a fun, supportive learning environment. Let's elevate your game together!
