Private Lessons & Coaches in

I'm a pickleball coach with three years of experience and a strong background in racket sports like tennis, badminton, squash, and table tennis. My journey with pickleball started after winning a few school tournaments, and it quickly became something I genuinely love! Drawing on skills from other racket sports, I focus on footwork, shot technique, and smart court strategies—all tailored to each player’s unique strengths. I’ve coached over 200 clients in both tennis and pickleball, helping them grow their game with confidence and consistency! One of my favorite parts of coaching is helping players develop powerful, accurate serves and unlocking parts of their game they didn’t even know they had! Whether it’s fine-tuning mechanics or building match-day mindset, I aim to help every player maximize their potential in a way that feels fun, challenging, and rewarding. I can speak English, Hindi, Telugu, Spanish, and basic French, which helps me connect with players from all kinds of backgrounds and create a welcoming, supportive environment—on and off the court!

Hi, my name is Chris, and I’ve been playing pickleball for over 3 years with a strong passion for both competition and coaching. I’ve competed at a high level, including the Collegiate National Pickleball Tournament, after earning a bid to qualify. I focus on helping players improve fundamentals, strategy, and confidence, whether they are beginners or more advanced players. My coaching emphasizes clear instruction, game-like drills, and skills that transfer directly to match play. I bring a positive, energetic approach to every lesson and aim to make each session fun, productive, and motivating, helping players enjoy the game while improving quickly.

"Chris is a great coach. I’m a beginner and we focused on just a couple things so I wouldn’t have too many thoughts in my head. He broke down my movements and had me focus on fixing just one thing at a time. I’m a work in progress, but a little less so. More lessons will make me better! PS. This app sent us to a park with no courts and their customer service is…poor. Chris and I found another court a mile awayourselves. Again, he’s 5 stars. The app, 1.

I’ve been a lifelong golfer, learning the game under the guidance of a Golf Digest Top-50 coach starting at age 10. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both the technical and mental sides of golf. My coaching focuses on simplifying the game, building confidence, and giving players the tools they need to consistently lower their handicap and most importantly, enjoy golf more.

"I helped Jackson in his years at central high school with becoming a better hitter for his JV team, he grew in staying disciplined at the plate and driving in a lot of runners that season.

Just a fellow pickleball addict that fell in love with the fastest growing sport! With my ping pong background I've grasped the sport and picked it up quickly bringing me to a 4.0 level in less than a year. Playing in cross club 4.0 league to continue learning and improving my skills has propelled me to my next chapter of joining a 4.5 division team this coming season just shy of 2 years into this sport. I'm a student of the game but have been helping many people along the way and the world would just be better with more people playing this game! Looking forward to challenging you physically and mentally while having a lot of fun together!

"I’ve been taking lessons with Justin for about a year now, and I can’t recommend him enough. I came into pickleball with absolutely no sports background, and thanks to his coaching, I’ve worked my way up to playing at a 4.0 level. One of the things I appreciate most is how good Justin is at spotting the little technical details that make a huge difference. For example, something like hitting the ball as it’s coming down from the apex or making a small adjustment to my footwork or paddle position, he’s able to catch things I would never notice on my own. His explanations are simple, easy to understand, and actually stick. He’s patient, encouraging, and always knows how to break things down in a way that builds confidence instead of making you feel overwhelmed. Every lesson feels productive, and I always leave with something new that makes my game better. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely excited for you to get better, Justin is an amazing coach.
