"Today was my first time training with Coach Luis, and it was an awesome experience. He taught me the roll, the flick, and how to improve my dinks in a way that was super easy to understand. He broke down each technique step-by-step and made sure I really got the feel of the shots. I already feel more confident and see improvement after just one session. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and knows exactly how to correct mistakes without making you feel pressured. Highly recommend Coach Luis for anyone who wants to level up their pickleball game!
Luis
Transform your pickleball game with my two years of coaching experience! I'm passionate about sharing my love for this exciting sport and helping players of all levels reach their full potential. Let's work together to elevate your game in a fun and supportive environment. I began my journey working at a private PB club where it was part of my job to learn how to play, I was hooked right away. I was inspired by the coaches loving what they did and seeing the players get better as they came off the court from a lesson or clinic. I have been teaching locally at HOA's and within my own community and decided to get my certification in March 2025 so I would be properly registered and insured. Come and join me, learn, laugh and have fun and take your pickleball journey with me!

Frequently asked questions
What to expect when you take a Pickleball lesson in Bradenton
The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Luis
pickleball coach
I start by conducting a thorough skills assessment through warm-up rallies and targeted drills to identify strengths (like consistent dinking or powerful drives) and areas for improvement (such as footwork efficiency or shot variety). We discuss their goals, such as tournament preparation or mastering spin, and review key rules nuances like stacking in doubles. Hands-on, we refine grips for advanced shots, practice controlled volleys, and introduce strategy concepts like third-shot drops under pressure. The session ends with a simulated game point to apply insights, plus personalized homework like video self-analysis.
Coach Ken
pickleball coach
Precision & Power: Serve, Return, and Third Shot Mastery Objective: Refine serves, returns, and third shots for control, depth, and placement under pressure.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
Coach Alberto
pickleball coach
Definitely want to come out comfortable and tennis shoes. I have an extra paddle but you can bring your own if you want.
Coach John
pickleball coach
The correct shoes are paramount for safety and stability while learning the game of pickleball. An outdoor hard surface court shoe is required for your safety. Running and walking shoes should not be worn for your lesson.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Alberto
pickleball coach
Having extra patience lol I’ll train them just like how I do with adults but with extra grace!
Coach Luis
pickleball coach
When working with kids, I adapt lessons to be fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. I use shorter, game-like drills (e.g., target hitting with colorful cones or relay races with paddles) to keep their attention, focusing on basic skills like grip and forehand swings. Sessions are kept to 45-60 minutes, with frequent breaks, and I incorporate storytelling (e.g., “become a pickleball superhero!”) to teach rules and strategy. I use smaller courts or adjusted net heights if needed, and provide lightweight paddles and kid-sized balls for easier handling. Positive reinforcement and group activities foster teamwork and confidence.
