Private Lessons & Coaches in Vineyards, FL

Having had a life long passion for racquet sports (Certified Tennis PTR coach 20+ years and national tournament player in Platform Tennis), I was delighted to discover Pickleball 10 years ago when I moved to Naples, Florida. I was fortunate enough to win the Gold Medal in my first Men’s Open Tournament at Veterans Park. A couple of years later, I also won a gold at the US Open. Competing and playing Pickleball for exercise is so exhilarating and addictive. I met so many new players along the way who have asked me to help start them safely or improve their mid level games. I truly enjoy coaching and received my Pickleball IPTPA Teachers certification in 2017.

"Taking overheads slow

My name is Diego Motivar, and I bring over 15 years of experience as a tennis coach to the Naples, FL community. Born and raised in Colombia, tennis has been my lifelong passion, and I proudly achieved success as the number one junior player in Colombia in both the 16s and 18s categories. My coaching journey has taken me through various settings, including tennis camps, college coaching, and private clubs like Columbus State University, The Field Club of Greenwich, and Quail West Golf and Country Club. With a proven track record of teaching players at all levels, I’m excited to share my expertise and enthusiasm with new clients in Naples.

"pro avatar Tessa T. Nov 15, 2015 - 25 I've been playing mixed doubles with Todd Mann for fifteen years. He's given both me and my husband many tips on our game, both our strokes and strategy. He's always positive and encouraging, and is an excellent player. I'd definitely recommend him as a tennis pro.

I started playing tennis at 11 years old. Among this sport also ping pong was my favorite. I met Pickleball 4 years ago and it seemed a natural combination between the two. Just easier to mastering. I started my path taking private lessons and advanced camps and three years ago i achieved the first PPR Level I Professional Coach Certification. Recently I achieved the Level II from PPR and then I joined IPTPA obtaining the Level I & II Professional Coach Certification. I am a VAIR Rater, a new, innovative, company which has developed an excellent system to rate players for the players. www.vairified.com I am a very patient teacher and a good listener. I enjoy to see my students to learn and to improve their skills.

"Excellent first session. Silvano focused on my goals and immediately identified my issues. The drills he chose pushed me to improve on my weaknesses.

I currently compete at the 5.0 level in tournaments. I have a 5.003 mixed doubles rating through the paddlewars organization. I charge $40 a head for group lessons 3-8 people. I charge $80 for one on one personalized training and tournament prep!

"I started playing pickle with some friends of mine and decided quickly that I love it! I met Miles in a restaurant and he told me he was a coach so I decided to give him a try. I laughed and learned so much in such a short amount of time… his smile and sun tan keeps me coming back! I wonder if he is single… 😊

For over a decade, I've cultivated a passion for tennis into a fulfilling career. I empower students with the skills and mindset to excel, making learning fun and effective. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your tennis goals!

"She said it was a great first session, especially for someone's first time playing again after 20 years of not using the racquet. She is happy to return for more sessions.

I have been coaching tennis for 20 years. My last two years I have been coaching in Naples, the rest of the years I spent coaching in New York and New Jersey. I have experience coaching individual and group lessons, with players of all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced levels.

"I’ve had an amazing experience training with Tijana! She is incredibly knowledgeable, always patient, and brings such a positive and friendly energy to every session. Her ability to explain techniques clearly and tailor the lessons to my level made a big difference in my progress. Beyond being a great coach, she’s truly an excellent professional. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their game in a supportive and fun environment!
