About Eric

Eric is a former USTA 4.0+ tennis player who has transitioned into a passionate pickleball coach. With his strong tennis background, he brings a wealth of experience and a keen understanding of sports strategy to his pickleball teaching. Now fully dedicated to teaching pickleball, Eric is excited to help players of all levels improve their skills and enjoy the game.

What students say...

"The lesson with Eric was quite good, especially because he clearly explained everything from serving to paddle hold and how to keep the ball in play. I appreciated his patience and the way he broke down each step, making learning pretty straightforward. Though I still need to work on returning the ball without hitting it out and improving my backhand, I look forward to seeing how more lessons might help me refine these areas. Still, it’s a solid approach if you're aiming to up your game a bit.

About Brian

With a tournament win under my belt, I bring passion and expertise to every pickleball lesson. I come from a table tennis background since I was 10 years old. I not only work with adults but kids as well. If you have a pickleball addiction like me, I will help you improve any areas that you wish while having fun at the same time.

What students say...

"Brian demonstrates a novel way of teaching by giving me the opportunity to identify my own mistakes based on the content that I learned from him on the spot. This exercise, along with the drills, helps me better understand the concepts that we learned today. If there is one improvement I have to state, it’s that the drop shot adjustments could be introduced better. Give them awareness that the balls can come at different height/different speeds first and then show them the techniques to handle such cases.

Coach Vivian

pickleball coach

When teaching kids pickleball, I focus on making lessons fun, interactive, and engaging while building their fundamental skills. Instead of traditional drills, I incorporate games, challenges, and storytelling to keep their attention. Short, high-energy sessions with lots of movement help match their attention spans, so I break lessons into quick 5-10 minute segments. Instructions are kept simple, with plenty of demonstrations and hands-on activities. I also modify equipment and rules as needed, such as using lower nets, allowing drop serves, and even using foam balls for younger players. The emphasis is on hand-eye coordination, basic rallying, and fun footwork exercises rather than strict technique. Serving challenges involve hitting big targets instead of focusing on perfect placement, and cooperative rally games encourage teamwork and sportsmanship. I also introduce basic doubles strategies through playful exercises while fostering a positive environment where kids cheer each other on. By blending skill development with engaging activities, I create a learning experience that keeps kids excited to play and improve.
