If you want to learn the basics of golf without the high cost of private lessons, give me a shout. I work primarily with beginners and intermediate players.

With extensive knowledge of the golf swing, fundamentals, and drills, I can help you improve your game. You will get better!

I live in Venice, Florida. I’ve been playing tennis at a 3.0-3.5 level for 20 years and have enjoyed four years of pickleball. For the past 2 years, I’ve been teaching total beginners, English, Russian and Ukrainian speakers, in Venice and Nokomis, Florida. Learn pickleball the right way from the start. I specialize in total beginners and players who want to fix bad habits, improve technique, and gain confidence on the court.

Every session is personalized to your skill level, with a strong focus on safety, proper fundamentals, smart strategy, and fun. I'm proud to have coached students who have earned Silver and Bronze medals in competition.

"Jamal has been working with my son since August, and from the very beginning it was clear how knowledgeable, intentional, and serious he is about the game of basketball. His attention to detail and commitment to fundamentals immediately stood out. In just six months of training, my son Eirasen has shown tremendous growth—not only in his fundamental skills, but also in his overall understanding of the game. Jamal has played a major role in that development and will always be a staple in my son’s basketball journey. What truly sets Jamal apart is his care, compassion, and genuine love for the players he trains. He is deeply invested in each child’s growth and treats their development with the same level of commitment as any parent would. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and delivers results, NO FEA4 Basketball Academy is the place to be.
