Private Lessons & Coaches in Upper Freehold, NJ

I run six pickleball sessions a week for my local church to raise money, combining my love for the game with a commitment to community service. My journey with paddle sports began as a kid, but it was in 2015, introduced to pickleball by my dad, that I truly found my passion. I fell in love with the game not only for its excitement but also for the positive social aspects it brings. Pickleball has a unique way of building connections and fostering a supportive community, and I strive to share that experience with others. Whether you're a newcomer or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you enjoy the game and be part of the amazing pickleball community.

"Had a great time learning from Matthew! He was super patient and even let me practice with the ball machine. He is super nice and kept the lesson fun. He also runs open play sessions with his church which I went to and was great to practice the things I learned.

"I continue to learn new things. This past lesson was a mix of drills to help me manage and return balls coming to my center, right and left. I like when Suzanne has me re- doing something until I get the hang of. She is patient, doesn’t move on just because we spent x amount of time on. She will say “nope, let’s do it again”. I encourage that.

"Meeting Ryan and giving myself a chance to learn the right way through his teaching is one of the smartest things I’ve done this year along my “learn how to play golf” journey. I’m a late starter at 39 having never really taken golf seriously before, I had initial apprehensions about lessons, thinking I wasn’t ready for them, not having what I thought was a strong foundation. Ryan does an amazing job of giving his students a point of reference with every lesson alleviating any “is this right for me” apprehension and making form and technique resonate. While I have a long way to go (again, only 5 months in) I’m confident enough to go out for a round when I can, to start working on grass. Every lesson has brought and continues to bring significant progress and increased opportunity. Thank you sir, Pretty life changing; I’m grateful for your teaching and guidance.

"I appreciated how the lesson focused on hand-eye coordination drills, and Brandon really tuned his approach to my specific needs. Though I still have some work to do, I felt like I made useful progress and left with ideas to practice on my own.

I have been providing both individual and group instructions for several year. Most of my instruction has been with adults but I have also provided lessons for children. I evaluate each individual before providing any instruction to get an idea of playing ability so I can identify areas of opportunity for improvement.

"Did a great job with useful tips !
