"Mark was knowledgeable and very patient with my beginner son. My son can’t wait for his next lesson.
I'm a passionate pickleball player and coach with a 4.0 skill level and over four years of experience playing locally. My love for racket sports started with tennis, where I found success in high school, winning at the district level. This sparked my interest in pickleball, and now I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you! My coaching covers everything from the fundamentals to advanced skills and drills, including mastering those tricky shots like smashes, lobs, and volleys. We'll also focus on strategy and footwork, so you can dominate the court. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your game, I'm dedicated to providing engaging and effective instruction to help you achieve your pickleball goals.
"As a complete beginner with no sports background, I had a great experience learning pickleball with Coach Jawad. He is friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. He quickly identifies my technical issues and helps correct them before they become my habits. For example, he helped me improve my elbow and wrist positioning during my swing. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I learned a lot in a short time. The lessons were clear, helpful, and fun, and they made me enjoy pickleball. I truly appreciate his teaching and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills.

With over 4.8 million people now enjoying pickleball, I'm excited to share the strategies and knowledge I've gathered along the way. As a certified PPR instructor, I specialize in teaching everything from scoring and serving to dinking and volleying techniques, helping you build confidence and stamina on the court. I'm passionate about making learning enjoyable, and I look forward to helping you improve your skills so you can have as much fun playing pickleball as I do.

"James is awesome! Super friendly. Laid back. And very helpful and knowledgeable. Will improve your game.
I coach at DFW Indoor Pickleball - no guest fee! After just 1.5 years of playing (started September 2024), Louis earned a 4.613 rating (starting January 2026) in mens' doubles, demonstrating strategic thinking, talent, discipline, and maybe a path to pro level. He has achieved the following multiple medals and accomplishments: - 2x medal winner in mens' doubles 3.5-4.0 division (1 gold; 1 silver) - 6x medal winner in mens' doubles 4.0-4.5 division (5 golds; 1 bronze) - Represented the Dallas Flash in the DUPR 16 minor league division As your coach/mentor, I am invested in your learning journey with you. As a conscientious and analytical person, I will provide you detailed feedback, customize lesson plans, and share a skills tracking sheet (via Google Sheets) based on your specific needs. Moreover, I welcome game video footage, discussions on YouTube pickleball videos, breakdowns of pro level matches, etc etc, which expands improvement beyond just our on-court sessions together! Let's embark on your continuous improvement journey together soon! Nowhere but up from here!
"Great feedback on what to improve, really patient when I'm not getting a concept right away.
In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success with a 5.5 DUPR rating and medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.
"Excellent lesson, completely happy with the experience; a very good coach!
If you're looking to improve your game in any aspect, look no further. Whether it's a specific shot or just in general, I can elevate your game. Between my 27 years of playing tennis at a high level (20 spent coaching too), and now my 7 years of pickleball (5.0 rating) with 5 years of giving lessons, I have the utmost confidence in my coaching abilities. Between the above, having 3 kids, and having taught for years, I'll always be patience yet firm no matter your current level.
"Mike showed me why I was continuing to miss the same 3rd ball drop on my forehand. I've been playing the same for so long I'm trying to change it and I see how it helps, it's just hard to fix old habits. I'm planning on more lessons with him because it's already helped.
As a former college tennis player and over 25 years of tennis coaching experience, I discovered pickleball and decided to switch to a more social game. I now can add 5 years of pickleball coaching experience to every lesson. My goal is to cultivate your skills with a fun, strategic, and personalized approach to improve your game! I can’t wait to work with you!
"Mary is an excellent teacher. She was able to easily adjust our first lesson to meet my skill level.
4.0+ pickleball level. Been playing racket sports from a very young age: a couple of years of serious tennis, 5 years of serious "Padel Tennis", some Racquetball, Badminton, and countless hours of serious Ping Pong with a few tournaments wins under his belt. Started playing pickleball 14 years ago and has really picked up on it as his favorite racket sport since the pandemic, quickly becoming very passionate about it and about teaching it as well. He'll teach you tips and tricks to improve your game to very quickly turn you into a serious contender.
"Juan was amazing and showed me a lot on the first lesson! Looking forward to getting better and better with his coaching!! Excellent coach!
