I'm passionate about introducing people to the exciting world of pickleball! My focus is on helping beginners and intermediate players build a strong foundation in the sport. I've developed a series of engaging drills and practice routines designed to teach essential skills and strategies. Whether you're looking to master the basics or refine your offensive and defensive tactics, I can provide the guidance and support you need to take your game to the next level. I believe in making learning fun and effective, empowering players to confidently step onto the court and enjoy all that pickleball has to offer.
"Hey, I’d say Kevin’s lesson was quite helpful. I’m definitely seeing progress, especially with my serves, though I need to work more on my footwork and being ready to return the ball swiftly. Still, I feel optimistic about sharpening my skills with his guidance. Maybe more practice with dinking and ping-ponging the ball will help me get there. It’s been a good experience so far, and I’d suggest trying him out if you’re looking to improve your game.

I have over 20 years of coaching experience with hockey goaltenders. When I started playing pickleball, I decided to bring my coaching experience to this sport to help players of all skill levels achieve a high level of play. With my pickleball coaching, you can fast-track your game and become a top-notch competitor!
"John taught all three of ua how to play the game and even played our first time in one hour. He was early and prepared. He was very good at helping our son. Looking forward to our second lesson!
