About Kirk

My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college.ย ย ย  A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court.ย ย ย  I'm here to help.ย  ย 

What students say...

"My first lesson with Kirk was quite helpful, especially since he covered some key techniques that really stuck with me, though I still see plenty of room for improvement. Still, that lesson laid a good foundation, and Iโ€™m hopeful about refining my skills further with his guidance. If youโ€™re thinking about giving pickleball lessons a try, Kirkโ€™s a pretty solid option to consider.

About Eric

After a lifetime in tennis (also ping pong, badminton and squash) I was finally bitten by the pickleball bug and my passion for the sport has only grown. My beginner students can expect a fun learning environment in a casual setting. For those looking to up their game, power strokes, volley smashes and vicious spins are a session away. Intermediate player looking to refine their game? Letโ€™s get drilling. Iโ€™ll happily rally and match play with you after. Regardless of your goals, letโ€™s get out there and pickle!

What students say...

"Eric paced the lesson calmly, laying a solid foundation and making basics easy to grasp, with a clear focus on slow, steady progress and a hint of momentum. Lesson highlighted kept me moving forward.

About Jonathan

I've been a PPR certified teaching instructor for 4.5 years. Pickleball is not only accessible but also incredibly engaging. Drawing from my experience, I'm eager to introduce its fun and dynamic nature to enthusiasts of all levels. Let's dive into this exciting game together!

What students say...

"Oh, I guess Iโ€™ll give this lesson with Jonathan a pretty good mark. I shared what I wanted to work on, and he gave me straightforward advice and practical feedback, which really helped. Still, I think I need a few more lessons to feel completely confident, though, so Iโ€™ll probably try to keep improving with him.

"My first lesson with Vova was both fun and insightful. He has an amazing ability to explain complex concepts in a way that makes sense right away.

Vovaโ€™s energy and passion for the game make him an exceptional coachโ€”I canโ€™t wait for my next lesson!
