These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.



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.



Hi, I am a 20-year-old student at UCR, and over the past 2 years, I have developed a passion for pickleball. My journey with pickleball began in 2022, igniting a passion that has quickly propelled me to a DUPR rating of 4.85. In the 2 tournaments I have competed in, I remain unbeaten with a 19-0 record. Beyond tournaments, my skills have been consistently tested and proven on the courts of Maple Hill, iPickle Whittier, and iPickle LaHabra, where I perform well against players rated 4.5 and above. Drawing from my background as a soccer coach, I understand the transformative power of mentorship and am eager to share my pickleball knowledge to help others excel in the sport. With a commitment to continuous improvement and a drive to empower aspiring players, I'm dedicated to guiding fellow enthusiasts towards reaching their full potential on the pickleball court.
