As a former captain of the college golf team at Princeton University, my passion for the sport has taken me on a remarkable journey. I've competed on mini-tour circuits across Florida and various parts of the country, honing my skills and gaining invaluable experience. Along the way, I've achieved notable victories, including winning the Delaware State Amateur and Open championships. In the 1990s, I taught inner-city youth golf through an LPGA program, fostering a love for the game in a new generation of players. Today, I continue to share my expertise as a coach for high school golf, guiding young athletes toward their full potential on the course.
"The lesson offered a solid review of fundamentals, which I appreciated, though I think I need a bit more work on those basics. Still, Greg's approach helped keep me motivated to improve my game, and I think with a few more drills, I could see real progress. If you're looking for someone who genuinely encourages steady improvement, it's worth trying Greg out.

Beginners are Welcome! If you are a beginner or coming from another racket, or paddle sport, and never played, my lessons are designed to help establish a solid foundation to build on. I began my teaching journey as a volunteer, assisting in community clinics with beginners and mid-level players. My focus is on developing sound fundamentals through the use of drills to provide more confidence when stepping on the court. Either a beginner or you've been playing and want to improve, I truly believe everyone can enjoy the game at any level with sound fundamentals, and a basic understanding of the game. It's a wonderful sport and I'm excited for our first session together! Paddle up! E
"Courteous and honest coach!

Hello, I'm John Philip, originally from The Caribbean. I hold a master's degree in accounting from college. For over 35 years, I've dedicated myself to teaching tennis professionally, earning certification as a USPTR Professional 1. My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.
"The lesson with John was quite helpful, especially in working on my serve and return. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciated how he explained some of the court positioning, which made a noticeable difference. Still, I’m hoping the next lesson can focus a bit more on footwork to improve that aspect. If you're looking for someone who’s attentive and makes effort to clarify technique, you might find John worth trying.

As a former D1 athlete, I understand the dedication and commitment required to excel in this sport.

"Getting more comfortable with my form really made a difference during the lesson, and Sean’s help is definitely pushing my golf swing to be stronger and more powerful. Though I still want to work on generating more distance, I feel like I’m on the right track. Still, I think focusing on that aspect could really make a difference next time. If you're looking to improve your swing with a steady, measured approach, I’d suggest giving Sean a try.

I remember first hearing about the game from a family friend a few years back. I then saw some matches and thought this is an easy game made for senior citizens. I learned real fast how foolish I was. I went to a local park to try it out for the first time and took to it quickly. Gaining false confidence from this I was asked by some regulars to join them. Thinking to myself that it would not be hard to defeat some senior citizens and move on to some more competitive play with people closer in age and abilities. Let me tell you when I say these regulars showed me no mercy. They were hitting shots by me and blocking my hard drives right back. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that I could barely muster a point against them. It didn’t matter who I played. Men, Women, Young, & Old, all had a turn in taking advantage of me. With my pride bruised & battered and thoroughly humbled by my beating, I vowed from that day on to NEVER be beaten by another grandma again lol 😂 . In all seriousness I fell in love with the game and have been addicted ever since. I’ve dedicated myself to getting better and showing others the joy that is Pickleball. It brings me great pleasure in helping others get better and achieving their goals. The hours spent helping friends and family and practicing is equally as enjoyable as playing it myself. The biggest treasure is teaching my eldest of 3 boys the game and playing with him. Hopefully I will be able to share the love and passion for the game with others. “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”, is what they say, right!
"Honestly, I appreciated how Minh focused on my weaknesses during the lesson, and I guess that’s pretty helpful. Though, I’d say more of the same would be great to really solidify those improvements. I noticed some specific techniques in my gameplay that felt sharper afterward, so I think sticking with this approach could pay off. If you're looking to fine-tune your skills without too much fuss, Minh's lessons might be worth a try.
