For over a decade, I've been sharing my passion for pickleball with others, helping them develop their skills, while discovering the joy of this dynamic sport. My coaching philosophy is built on a foundation of fun, personal encouragement, NO pressure, motivation without fear to make mistakes, repetitions as many times needed, and a commitment to seeing each player reach their full potential, one step at the time. My classes can be in English or Spanish, using the same pickleball terms in English so anyone can play with my students regardless of languaje.
"I had a great lesson with coach Carlos today. He taught me a lot of information on basic fundamentals to correct mistakes early on and explained and showed me some more advanced techniques I should know later on. He was very patient, kind, knowledgeable and helpful for me to feel comfortable by repetitive drills but an all around education so I em engaged and not bored. The coach watches and corrects and reinforces. I had a great lesson with coach Carlos today and look forward to more classes. I even have some simple homework for our next lesson. Great class!

Hello! My name is Wade Bryant I am a young professional pickleball player with a high level tennis background that just moved to the Boca Raton area to further my training. I have played pickleball for 5 years and participated in multiple pro events competing against top players like JW Johnson, Dylan Frazier, and others and I’m looking to help improve anyone’s game through private lessons!
"Honestly, Wade's lesson was quite helpful, especially since I need to work on my serve , I was pretty terrible at it. Still, I think focusing solely on that next time could really make a difference. It's good to have a teacher who keeps things straightforward and addresses specific weaknesses. If he can help me clean up my serve, I’d definitely be up for trying another lesson with Wade.
