Private Lessons & Coaches in Deptford, NJ

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!

"I'm getting better at golf with Matthew's help. His explanations and feedback are really clear, and I found them quite helpful in understanding what I need to work on though. Still, I look forward to practicing more and seeing how my technique improves over time.

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.
