Private Lessons & Coaches in Virginia Beach, VA

As a passionate pickleball player, I am eager to share the skills and strategy that make the game so addicting. With multiple gold medals in men's and mixed doubles at the 4.5/4.0 level, I bring real world experience to lessons. My focus isn't just teaching shot mechanics, it's teaching players how to think about the game. My philosophy is simple: don't force winners; create them. I emphasize patience, court positioning, shot selection, and patience. The best players consistently make high-percentage decisions, build points with purpose, and wait for the right opportunity to attack. Whether you're looking to become more consistent, improve your strategy, or learn how to win more points without relying on flashy shots, my goal is to help you develop a smarter, more effective style of play that translates into real match results.

Igniting passion on the court is my specialty! For the last 40 years my passion was teaching tennis. Recently, however, my passion has turned to pickleball. I have medaled 13 times at the 4.0 and 4.5 level, and am a Level 1 Pickleball Professional Instructor certified the Professional Pickleball Registry. I refine technique and strategy to elevate your game, making every session fun and effective. Let's unlock your full potential!
