I'm Coach Darren and I specialize in improving skills through targeted drills with a pickleball machine. My focus is on addressing weaknesses and specific shots such as more consistent and powerful backhands, hitting speedups and defending them, third shot drops, topspin rolls, resets, countering slices and dinking and flicks. By emphasizing technique and repetition, I help players improve their confidence on the shots, reduce errors and win more.

"Darren was awesome and patient with us knowing we are beginners. He taught us step by step right from the very basics. We have 2 more lessons with him and looking forward to take more lessons. Highly recommended.

I'm JC, a current college tennis player with a decade of competitive experience. I love working with everyone from first-time beginners to advanced tournament players. My coaching focuses on building solid biomechanics, developing match strategy, and ensuring you get a great workout. Let's work together to achieve your tennis goals!

"Jc showed that he clearly understands the mechanics of the game and communicated very effectively.

Hi, I'm Bryan! I've been golfing since I was 8/9 years old. I’ve played junior golf and high school golf. I enjoy understanding and breaking down the swing mechanics. My aim is to help you develop a consistent swing and enjoy the game more. I want to teach you how to create habits that will lower your scores and eventually lower your handicap. I can put you on a launch monitor during the lessons and I will cover your range balls. If you are intermediate or advanced, we can work for advanced skills. Let's work together to improve your skills on the course!

"Bryan's lesson was quite helpful, especially since he made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. She was quite relaxed and seemed eager to keep practicing. Though we still need to work on her swing and stand, her comfort level definitely improved. I think with consistent effort, we can build on this foundation. Still, I appreciate the approachable way Bryan delivers feedback, making it easier to focus on small adjustments. If you're looking for a steady, straightforward lesson that prioritizes comfort and progress, Bryan is worth considering.

Tennis has been my life for 30 years — as a player, a college competitor, and now as a coach who’s put in over 345 lessons helping students actually improve. My game blends Federer-style touch and feel on the one-handed backhand with the heavy, modern topspin you see from players like Alcaraz and Sinner — and that’s exactly what I bring to your lessons, whether you’re building your fundamentals or refining a competitive game. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter lessons. Every session is built around your goals, your level, and what’s actually holding your game back — with the technology and tools (video analysis, ball machine, real match-play strategy) to back it up. Beyond the court, you’re joining a tennis community: connect with fellow students, ask me questions directly, work through structured courses at your own pace, and get access to local clinics and events. My goal is simple — help you fall in love with this game while getting genuinely better at it.

"great experience, coach jay is very professional and responsible, my kids like the class.

Hello, my name is Justin Telmo, and I am a PPR-certified instructor who is passionate about helping people at all levels improve their pickleball game. My approach to coaching pickleball is to break large concepts down as much as possible in order to establish common fundamentals that can be applied to as many things as possible. I have experience coaching racquet/paddle sports to players of all ages and various skill levels. I am open to individual lessons, group lessons, as well as video review sessions to help you improve.

"I initially booked a single lesson with Justin, but I was so impressed after that first session that I immediately signed up for a 10-pack. Justin is an exceptionally attentive and perceptive coach. He closely observes every movement, pinpointing subtle adjustments and offering actionable advice to elevate my game. We worked through everything from serves and third-shot drops to both one-handed and two-handed backhands, as well as offensive and defensive techniques. My overall technique, consistency, and court confidence have improved significantly thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking to level up their pickleball game!
