Best 5 coaches for Pickleball lessons near Hauppauge, NY

With three years of pickleball instruction, I tailor my coaching to each student's needs. My passion is fostering confidence and skill in a fun, supportive environment. Let's elevate your game together! I wrote a fun book about pickleball entitled: Is There Pickleball in Heaven?” New students get a complimentary copy of this book. I’m certified Level I Instructor with the IPTPA. Over the years I have taught about 40 people on game fundamentals. I teach indoors as well as outside, weather permitting.

"Serving correctly

With over three decades of experience as a military trainer, soccer coach, graduate marketing professor, and now an IPTPA coach/trainer, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our coaching sessions. While I'm a 4.0-rated player, that is not what makes me a good coach. Playing the game at a high level and coaching others require different skills. Coaching goes beyond following proven techniques and passing exams. It is about connecting with my students and tailoring lessons to their unique needs and skill levels. I understand that each player has their makeup and learning style, and I am skilled at adapting my coaching methods to ensure maximum progress and fulfillment. As your pickleball coach, I am focused on enhancing your skills and serving as a motivator and a dedicated instructor for your safety. While pickleball is an exciting game, it has seen increased injuries due to players not fully understanding its nuances. I will guide you in playing safely and provide the necessary knowledge to prevent injuries, allowing you to enjoy the game fully without compromising your well-being.

"Great!

With years of paddle and racquet expertise under my belt, I bring a wealth of knowledge to each lesson. I've designed various training programs for players of all different skill levels that delve into the techniques and strategies of the game. My goal is not only to help you better understand the game, but to help you become the best player that you can possibly be. I look forward to helping you elevate your game!

"That lesson was quite helpful. Brad's focus on consistency really stood out, and I appreciated how he explained the positioning technique clearly. Though I still have room to improve, I’m feeling more prepared to work on my shots. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress after just one lesson, hope to keep building on this with Brad’s guidance.

With a fervent passion for pickleball, I founded a TeamReach group two years ago, which has since flourished into a vibrant community of over 800 members. Recognized as a USA Pickleball Ambassador in New York, I've committed myself to fostering inclusivity and fun within the sport. Certified as an IPTPA beginners instructor, I dedicate my time to teaching adult beginners and special needs groups at the local Y, aiming to promote pickleball as a social and recreational activity for everyone, emphasizing safety and enjoyment above all. Let's pickle on together!
