Private Lessons & Coaches in El Cerrito, CA

From the moment I first hit a pickleball in the driveway of friend’s home in Irvine, I was done for. I knew that Pickleball was going to be MY sport. It was not only the immense satisfaction of making solid contact with the ball that brought me joy, it was the sound it made when contact occured. The rush of adrenaline that washed over me each time I hit the ball was exhilarating. That same evening, I went on Amazon and ordered not one, but four pickleball paddles. I was determined to play, and play I did! I convinced everyone in my orbit to try it and when they did, they, too, fell in love. That’s why I’m here - to spread the love for pickleball; because the truth is, everyone deserves to be in love.

"What sets my pickleball coach apart is his rare combination of elite athletic experience and analytical thinking. As a former badminton champion and an engineer, he understands how physics strategy and mechanics intersect on the court - and he explains it in a way that makes immediate sense. He quickly identifies what's happening in your stroke, clearly explains why it's happening, and shows you exactly how to fix it. He adapts his teaching to the individual player, which makes his coaching incredibly effective. I've gained both confidence and a deeper understanding of the game because of him.
