Pickleball coach teaching clinics and private lessons. Clinics include opening shots, third shot options and dinking

My journey in racket sports began at 9, ranked as a Junior in New York in the USTA and qualified for the New York State High School Championships. After playing collegiate singles and then tennis leagues in Chicago, I did not play as much but luckily, I found a great pickleball community after joining the Evanston YMCA. Pickleball is a fast, fun, and social game that I really enjoy, and it took a little time, but I was able to learn the subtle differences from Tennis and really improved my game. I enjoy helping people get better on the court and was voluntarily teaching friends at the Y and then of course my friends who all "wanted to learn "Pickleball." I am now a pickleball coach on the highly regarded Teachme.to platform in the North Suburbs including Evanston and Northside Chicago. I have met some great people and enjoy helping them achieve their goals. I have all 5-star reviews on the site.
