About Jamie

Hi, I’m Jamie! Pickleball runs in my family—my dad’s a pro instructor, and he was the one who first got me hooked back in Florida. Fast forward to today, I’m a 4.5 player based in San Diego, playing in tournaments and hitting the courts several times a week to drill and grow my game. I’m all about focused practice, fun energy, and helping players level up through smart, intentional reps. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen specific skills, I’d love to help you play more confidently—and have a great time doing it!

Coach Jamie

We’ll kick things off with a quick evaluation to see where you’re currently at—your shot mechanics, movement, court awareness, and overall strengths. From there, we’ll dive into refining fundamentals that may need a tune-up to strengthen your foundation. I’ll also get a feel for your goals so I can tailor our sessions to what you want to achieve—whether that’s winning more points, mastering advanced strategy, or prepping for tournaments.

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?

J

Coach Jamie

pickleball coach

When I teach kids, my number one goal is to make the experience fun and playful while still introducing proper form and good habits early on. I use games, mini-challenges, and lots of movement to keep them engaged and smiling the whole time. I focus on simple goals, quick wins, and making sure every child leaves feeling successful and excited to come back. Positive energy, patience, and encouragement are at the heart of every lesson.

Coach Michael

I've always enjoyed working with kids and giving them lots of encouragement to help them reach their goals. In the past I have worked as a teacher's assistant in a special education class, worked as a camp counselor, coached youth soccer, and helped take care of my nieces and nephews. It's always great to see kids learn and develop new skills while having fun!
