I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.

"Bill is the best pickleball coach I’ve ever had. In addition to his technical instruction, he provides valuable tactical guidance thanks to his own experience as an active professional player. What’s even more remarkable is the emotional support he offers—as both my coach and my 10-year-old son’s coach, he has helped my child learn how to manage emotions on the court.

"“Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.”
