"Dan is articulate patient and works on the fundamentals of your swing and how can tp apply what you’ve learned to your game strategy. Just one lesson and I thought it was a big breakthrough because he was able to identify immediately what I’ve been doing wrong and why I had been exerting to much energy into my swing.
I'm Coach Darren and I specialize in improving skills through targeted drills with a pickleball machine. My focus is on addressing weaknesses and specific shots such as more consistent and powerful backhands, hitting speedups and defending them, third shot drops, topspin rolls, resets, countering slices and dinking and flicks. By emphasizing technique and repetition, I help players improve their confidence on the shots, reduce errors and win more.
"Darren was very encouraging & patient with repeating instructions. We appreciate his insight into the game as well since we came in no knowing anything other than a desire to try something new!

Last summer, Mary coached beginners to intermediate-level players for Lifetime Activities in Walnut Creek, CA, where she helped athletes build skills and confidence. With a current DUPR skill level of 3.75-4.0, she brings both experience and passion to her coaching, motivating players to push their limits and achieve their personal best.

"Sandy's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my shot techniques, though I still need to work on my footwork. The focus on proper paddle grip and stance was pretty good and gave me some new insights.

I am a pickleball player, former health and fitness coach, and currently working in a private practice as an associate clinical mental health therapist. Pickleball is a sport I value for its creativity, physical challenge, and its ability to both quiet and challenge the mind.

I represented the Czech Republic at the 2025 Pickleball World Cup Championship in Fort Lauderdale and designed a pickleball-based therapy program for teens with anxiety and depression—helping players build confidence, focus, and resilience both on and off the court.
