4 years Experience | Newport Beach | Train • Compete • Create I’m currently a 4.8 DUPR pickleball player and former All-American college baseball player based in Newport Beach. I bring a competitive athlete’s eye to coaching, helping players improve footwork, shot selection, mechanics, strategy, and confidence.

"“Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.”

I started coaching officially in February 2025 for a small group, consistently weekly. I love helping students and athletes learning the game to improve, have fun, and gain fitness with pickleball. Previously, I had been a trainer for various sports and activities such as soccer, basketball, weightlifting, and martial arts.
What started as a love for the game quickly turned into something more — a passion for teaching it. I’m a certified pickleball instructor who has competed and thrived at the highest competitive levels, earning 5.0 tournament victories and stepping onto the court against top-25 PPA professionals. That experience playing against the best in the game isn’t just a cool story, I have felt the pace, the strategy, and the pressure of elite-level pickleball firsthand, and brings all of that to every lesson and clinic. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle for the first time or grinding to break into the 4.0+ ranks, I meet you exactly where you are. The goal is simple: help you have more fun, win more points, and fall in love with this game the same way it happened for me. Let’s rally. Book a session today.
I bring a thoughtful, energetic approach to pickleball coaching, combining technical refinement, tactical strategy, and clear communication to accelerate player progress. I have been teaching pickleball for several years and take pride in developing skill, confidence, and a love of the game.
"I have improved my technique and game sense with a few lessons with Coach Duc. He is clear in instructing and makes things easy to understand!
Howdy! I am a previously 4.5 tennis player that converted to pickle ball 2 years ago. I know play tournaments and am currently a 4.752 DUPR. I’ve won a couple 5.0 Singles tournaments as well as 5.0 tournaments. If you want to play at the +4.5 level, I can get you there! I am local to Orange County.
Fueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.
"After four years of playing pickleball, I finally understand what good coaching can do. My first lesson with Bill Brown was honestly transformational. I’m on the verge of tears of happiness thinking about how much progress I made in just one session. Bill is patient and has a gift for explaining body mechanics in memorable ways that immediately click. We worked on my backhand returns, drives, and dinks. I realized I had been doing many of the fundamentals incorrectly, and Bill made each correction easy to understand and apply. By the end of the lesson, I was finally starting to develop the feel for a proper backhand drive after struggling with it for four years. I only wish I had taken a lesson with Bill three or four years ago. It would have saved me years of frustration and bad habits. I look forward to my next lesson and feel more confident heading into my next tournament. I highly recommend Bill to anyone who wants to improve their game.

My years of teaching pickleball and winning tournaments offers students tailored expertise.

""I worked with Coach Peter to improve my serves and two-handed dinks, and the experience was fantastic! Coach Peter provided clear and actionable feedback, which greatly enhanced my technique and confidence. The drills were fun and effective, helping me see immediate progress in my game. I appreciate the supportive environment, which made learning enjoyable. If you're looking to elevate your pickleball skills, I highly recommend Coach Peter.
I offer a fun and hands on experience tailored to specific areas you want to improve on. With 2+ years of pickleball experience and a strong love/addiction to the game, I want to help others become more confident in their gameplay to be able to enjoy the sport as much as I do! I help players develop new skills, improve existing ones, and expand court knowledge or IQ. Perfect for beginners and kid-friendly as well :)
