"The best introduction to pickleball! Janeen is so much fun and made us feel immediately at ease learning a new sport.

Whether you are just starting out or looking to become more competitive, I’m here to help you take your game to the next level and develop a basis from which to build a strong balanced game. I coach Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Singles, working best at the 2.0 to 4.5 levels. Lesson formats and content depend in part on your level of experience, fundamental skill strength, athletic ability, and general game sense. We will usually work on a combination of technique and stroke, footwork, strategy and tactics, solo and partner drills, and live gameplay situations. I adapt my coaching style to what you respond best to. I’m not an intense person, nor am I too relaxed. I’m here to be helpful and get you the results you’re looking for while enjoying the beautiful game of Pickleball. I’ll give you practical tips, drills, and focus points to take home and work on. I’ll help you develop a game that plays to your strengths, while helping you cover and improve other areas where you might need more practice. I have a background in Physics and approach the game from a scientific perspective with regard to the social and mental aspects that make Pickleball so fun. I’ve played competitive singles at the 4.0 level and am in a regular MLP-style league playing doubles and mixed doubles. I play a balanced game, with a slightly modern style focusing on placement, consistency, and well-placed power only when appropriate. If you’re ready to have the experiences you’ve looking for, I’m here to help you get there. Can work in the Napa area on weekends, Hidden Valley Lake/Lake County areas, or Bay Area during the week.
