From tournament champion to dedicated coach, I bring two years of experience and a passion for pickleball to every lesson. I'm committed to helping players of all levels elevate their game in a fun, supportive environment. Let's work together to unlock your pickleball potential!



Hi, I’m Michael Stine III, a PPR Certified Professional Pickleball Coach and competitive player based in Southern California. I’ve been playing pickleball for over two years and competing at a high level in CAPA, iPickle, collegiate tournaments, and even internationally in Italy. I’ve coached athletes ranging from ages 8 to 60+, including Junior PPA and National Junior Pickleball champions. Many of my students have gone on to win tournaments at the 3.0–4.5 levels in singles, doubles, and mixed divisions. My coaching approach focuses on developing strong fundamentals and technical precision, smart strategy and tactical awareness, and mental toughness to elevate your game quickly. Whether you’re a beginner learning proper technique or an advanced player refining your competitive edge, I’ll tailor each session to your specific goals and skill level. I believe in building confidence through consistency, positivity, and game-based learning so you’ll not only improve but have fun doing it. Let’s get you ready to compete at your best and level up your pickleball game!
"Michael is legit! He explains everything so well and he’s super nice. I’ve improved so much from the pickleball tips he’s given me!



As an accomplished, lifelong tennis player and competitor, I have coached the game since 1988. I am a former USPTA professional with an advanced degree in Psychology, focusing on sports competition. Additionally, I have spent over ten years in secondary and post-secondary academic education. This unique combination of training and experience has given me great insight into how humans learn and develop new skills at various stages of life. My innovative training methodology is designed to prevent the formation of bad habits and improper muscle memory during the crucial stroke acquisition phase. Recovering from a life-altering car crash and a host of sports injuries has given me a new perspective on life and coaching. Every day is an opportunity to introduce the wonder of this game to everyone I meet and help those already engaged to be the best they can be. I look forward to seeing you on the court soon!
"Michael has a mastery of both the physical and mental aspects of the sport, and offered a great mix of constructive criticism and encouragement to both effectively get the teaching points across and keep me motivated. After taking the time to understand my specific goals, he worked with me to develop personalized instructions that were tremendously helpful. He offered practical advice on how I could improve each specific shot – the serve, the groundstrokes, the volley, etc. and gave me clear directions on how I can practice on my own time beyond the lessons to incorporate those improvements. Michael’s technical skills and work ethic make him a great tennis instructor, and his ability to inspire the same passion he has for tennis in others makes him a great ambassador for the sport.
