Best 3 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Riverview, FL

Born in Darien, CT, I moved to Europe after college to play Euro League basketball. I spent five years in Norway, playing for the city of Kristiansand, and then transferred to Germany, where I played for four years in Munich. I decided to settle in Germany after my son was born in 2018. However, in 2022, I had to move back home to care for my parents after my father was diagnosed with cancer. Following his passing, my mother developed depression and needed special care, prompting me to stay permanently to support her. Amidst these challenges, pickleball became my refuge. I dedicated all my free time to learning and mastering the sport, with the hope of one day passing on these skills to others who might also need refuge.

"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. ✅ 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.
