My name is Zach Tone and I am senior at San Diego State University! I am the president of the pickleball club there, and play competitively in collegiate tournaments around the country. I have taught over 100 students the sport, and I have a passion for helping people get better. I also work with the National Collegiate Pickleball Association in order to find high quality coaches for junior leagues!
"I just started playing a couple months ago, and I’m hooked. I’m friends with Zach’s mom, and she told me to take a couple lessons with him. Let me tell you he is so caring and passionate about helping others get better. He makes the lessons fun, and my game has gotten better already!
