About Skylar

Hi there! My name is Skylar and I’m thrilled to be your coach. I’ve been playing pickleball for about 2 years and have been a licensed PPR coach for about 6 months. Along with my doubles partner I’ve helped build the pickleball program at The Griffin Club in Culver City. From beginner to pro I love creating a relaxing environment where we can lock in the fundamentals and I can give you all the tools you need to succeed. I also help tennis players get into the game by pointing out the differences and adapting their strengths to fit the smaller court. Reach out! I’ll seeya on the court.

I’ve worked with kids and tweens quite a bit. The biggest factor I look out for is attitude. I believe in a firm yet encouraging approach, whether it’s young picklers or a more advanced one. Kids need to be encouraged and worked with their strengths more, and that is something I love doing!
