Best 5 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Jacksonville, FL

I’m a 3.8 DUPR player, and what makes me a great coach is that I keep it fun 🤩! If you’re not having fun, you won’t want to play. With me, lessons are fun, safe, and focused on helping you grow—both on and maybe even off the court. I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels, but I specialize in helping new and entry-level players (2.5–3.0) build confidence and fall in love with the game.

"If you are looking for a pickleball coach who is professional, kind, patient and with strong pickleball skills, you don’t need to look any further. I highly recommend Dennis from TeachMe. Before working with Coach Dennis, my kitchen dinking skill and groundstrokes were poor and inconsistent. I struggled with understanding court strategy. Thanks Dennis’s guidances and specific drills, I've improved my forehand and backhand techniques especially in the kitchen zone. I feel much more confident in game situations. I really appreciated Dennis ‘s patient teaching style and ability to break down complex strategies into simple, actionable steps. Dennis was always prepared and made every session fun and engaging. I highly recommend Dennis to any beginner to intermediate plus level players who is looking to elevate their skills and game! Chloe

My specialty is helping you hone in your stroke mechanics. I have a machine to help with repetition and drills. I can design a program to help you with every aspect of your game. Let's rally together and make every game a fun-filled journey of growth and discovery!
