About James

Over 15 years coaching experience between tennis and pickleball helping players of all levels reach their potential. As a former top 30 PPA pro, I bring a unique perspective and wealth of knowledge to every session. A current 6.0 Dupr player with wins against top 10 players in the world. Looking for serious players that want to improve and compete.

What students say...

"The way James explained things made it really easy to follow, especially with the backhand and forehand dink techniques. Though I still need to build on what I learned, I think another lesson could really help me improve those shots. If you're looking for a straightforward and clear teaching style, you might find it worth trying James.

What students say...

"I had a pretty good time during my lesson with Donna. She kept things engaging without rushing through the fundamentals. Honestly, the focus on truly understanding the basics made a noticeable difference for me. Though I still need to work on consistency, I’m optimistic about practicing what I learned. Still, it was quite helpful to see where I can improve, and I’ll probably sign up again soon to build on what I started.

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.
