About your pickleball coach

I grew up playing multiple sports, including football, basketball, and rugby. When I was introduced to pickleball, I quickly fell in love with the game and haven’t looked back. I’ve competed in a 4.5 DUPR tournament in Colorado, reaching the quarterfinals with one of my best mates. While I don’t play tournaments often—due to many being held on Saturdays, which I observe as the Sabbath, as a member of the SDA church!—I have a deep passion for the sport and love sharing that passion, knowledge, and experience with others.

Olwyn P.
As a completely new player to pickleball, Joel was very patient and encouraging. Made it super fun and easy to follow along!
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst things first is connecting with my student! Asking them their athletic background and what their goal is in pickleball! From there, gauge where they are by running quick drills in dinking, volleying at the net, and some drives from baseline.
Lesson 11+What do they feel they need to work on in their game and hone in on that area to strengthen it! Nobody becomes the best of the best from only a couple of lessons! There’s always room for improvement, even from the top players!
Lesson 4-10Introduce the drop shots and the drives. The importance of recognizing a great drop and a bad drop, and when to come up to the kitchen. A great drill for this is the 7/11 drill! Which is a fun drill that can be done with 2-3 people. 1 person working the baseline trying to work their way up to the net by dropping or driving the ball! And the other 2 defending the net trying to keep the lone player from scoring. Adding in another drill for hands battles. Faster hands and quicker reaction times.
Lesson 2-3Quick review of lesson 1. Ask “what felt good last time? What felt confusing”. Then touching on those concerns briefly. Afterwards some light rallies from mid court, reinforcing their grip on the handle and the “ready position” stance! From there go into serves/returns and the importance of depth over power! Also working on movement to the kitchen after returns.
What you need to bringTheir paddle and a fun attitude!
