I live in Venice, Florida. I’ve been playing tennis at a 3.0-3.5 level for 20 years and have enjoyed four years of pickleball. For the past 2 years, I’ve been teaching total beginners, mainly Russian and Ukrainian speakers, in Venice, Florida. My five-lesson course equips students with essential skills like dinks, serves, and strategies, ensuring they can confidently join open play games. I use the Pickleball maching to help you learn consistency and mussels memory.

Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
"I loved practicing the form needed for each type of stance and shot.

"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!
