About Manny

I started playing tennis at a young age and competed through college. My coaching journey began with summer camps, where I worked with kids of all ages and adults. After discovering pickleball one summer, I quickly fell in love with the game and transitioned into coaching it. I'm here to help you elevate your game to the next level, whether you're new to pickleball or looking to refine your skills.

What students say...

"Coming from a competitive background in combat sports ,pickleball has become my new passion. I recently started competing again and I needed that some one to help me get to the next level. After my time playing with Coach Manny, he has picked my game apart and helped me understand what is useful and disregard what is not. After today’s lesson I feel not just 1% better but I have a complete better understanding of pickleball and the drills have exploited my weakness and turned them into improving strengths. Thanks Coach Manny! Ig @ pickleNINJA_

About Sofia

Hello there! I’m a former tennis player and collegiate club player at the University of South Florida. I frequently play PPA qualifiers and high level local moneyballs. I am currently on the USF travel pickleball team and am the highest rated player on the team. I also recently qualified to represent team USA in the Pickleball Worldcup Championships.

What students say...

"That lesson was quite helpful, especially learning how to keep score by playing games. Sofia’s approach with strategies really made a difference, I still feel like I have a lot to work on, but I’m hopeful about continuing to improve. If you’re into picklesports, I’d say it’s worth trying out her lesson.

About Bacem

Pickleball Coach | 4.0 DUPR | 3+ Years Experience Playing and Private coaching focused on fundamentals, consistency, and smart shot selection. Ideal for beginners and intermediate players looking for structured improvement. Experienced in youth development and competitive play. Focused on fundamentals, confidence, and game awareness.

What students say...

"I recommend Bacem as a coach because of his tremendous knowledge, experience and his style of explaining things and making it make sense to anyone. I struggled with popping balls, my backhand returns and landing my serve consistently. Learned from Bacem that I don’t need to crush my serve and I just need to land it, now I almost land 100% of my serves. βœ… I also implanting his feedback on how to grip and position my paddle for backhand returns, how to be ready with my paddles at all times, how to anticipate the ball and read the play. I was also advised to focus on watching the opponent how they serve so I know what to expect and how to return it without hitting out or short. Bacem is still my coach and planning to continue to improve my game.
