"George's lesson was quite helpful. I appreciated the specific instruction and feedback he provided. Though I still need more practice serving and moving up to the net, I feel like I'm making steady progress. If you're looking to refine your technique, you might consider focusing on those areas as well. Still, I think trying a lesson with George could be worthwhile if you're aiming to improve your game.
I got into pickleball after a few friends dragged me along to play. Now I’m hooked and absolutely love playing. I have taught many friends and newcomers how to play and excited to teach you.
"Brendan's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my dink shot technique, which I’d been struggling with. He explained how foot positioning can really make a difference, though I still have some work to do. Still, I’m optimistic about applying the tips he shared and hoping to improve further soon. If you’re looking to fine-tune specific skills, it’s worth giving Brendan a try.

Hello my name is Anthony and I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach! I got into pickleball two years ago and took to it fast, thanks to my tennis playing and coaching background. I have won medals locally and nationally. I recently won a Silver Medal in Men’s Singles at the Minto US Open Championships and a Bronze Medal at the APP New York City Open. I have also won a Bronze Medal in 4.0 Men’s Singles at a the Pickle Juice Spring Open. And won a Bronze Medal in 4.0 Men’s Doubles at the Monmouth County Cup. I have competed in Nationals at the 4.5 level as well as the Geico APP Championships in the 5.0 division. I am also a PTR Certified Tennis Professional (Level 2), an iTPA Certified Tennis Performance Trainer (TPT)-Tennis Fitness Certification and I am also Safe Sport Trained. I played USTA (United States Tennis Association) junior tennis where I had an 18 and Under Sectional Ranking in the Eastern Section. In addition, I am a former captain of the Colts Neck tennis team and I formerly played NCAA D3 tennis at Haverford College under Coach Sean Sloane. I have over 20 years of playing experience & 8 years teaching experience. I started playing pickleball Summer of 2023 and have quickly taken to it. I play and drill at least 3 times a week and I am really enjoying the sport. I have been able to parallel all of my tennis playing and coaching experience to pickleball and as a coach, I incorporate the proper progressions and drills as well as point play to help you with your game. I believe in positive reinforcement and keeping things educational, yet fun. I can help with your technical skills and tactics. I am offering fun private pickleball lessons, semi-private pickleball lessons, group pickleball lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot (dink), approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be happy to help you with your game!
"Anthony is an excellent teacher. Really enjoyed the lesson!
I love helping players of all levels improve their game. My sessions are all about sharpening skills, learning strategy, and having a great time on the court. Let’s step up your game and have some fun!

"I appreciated how the lesson focused on hand-eye coordination drills, and Brandon really tuned his approach to my specific needs. Though I still have some work to do, I felt like I made useful progress and left with ideas to practice on my own.
Tennis has been a lifelong passion for me, but about three years ago, the magnetic allure of pickleball caught my attention. Intrigued and motivated to spread my love for this sport, I pursued PPR certification and embarked on a teaching journey that has now spanned over a year. My teaching endeavors have seen me conducting numerous classes, reaching out to hundreds of players at various levels of expertise, all within the welcoming environment of the YMCA. Pickleball is more than a game; it's a community, a vibrant connection of enthusiasts coming together to enjoy the thrill of the sport. As a dedicated instructor, my mission is to share this excitement and the skills that make the game enjoyable for players of all backgrounds and levels. My goal is to contribute to the growth of pickleball and help individuals discover the joy of this engaging and dynamic sport.
"I love James! Best coach for a newbie like me.
I'm a passionate pickleball coach with a deep understanding of the game's intricacies and a proven track record of helping players of all levels improve their skills and reach their full potential. I've been coaching for over five years, and my coaching philosophy focuses on building a strong foundation, developing strategic thinking, and fostering a love for the sport.
"My lesson with Emmy was quite informative, especially since he analyzed my faults and focused on the basics like paddle control, follow through, and stance. Still, I need to keep working on integrating these habits into my play, though. I am not happy that AI or your website just summarized my previous feedback and said I could clear it all or edit it. Well, I listed just about every individual task that Emmy helped me with and it was summarized out in his review. Don’t have the time to list it all again. Whatever. As my 5 stars stated, Emmy’s lesson was awesome for me.
For over a decade, I've been sharing my passion for ping pong. Now I'm using that experience in helping players of all levels discover the joy of this fast-growing sport of pickleball. My focus is on building a strong foundation, developing strategic skills, and fostering a love of the game in each of my students.
"Lesson was fantastic, Martin’s explanations were concise, easy to learn and repeatable.
On the court, strategy trumps all. As a tournament winner with 8 years of experience coaching pickleball, I help players elevate their strategic game to achieve peak performance. Let's unlock your potential and make pickleball your winning game! I have 32 yrs of teaching experience along with coaching many team sports as well as swimming, tennis and triathlon. I have also won many tennis tournaments and recently won at NY Senior Games in Pickleball. I look forward to working with you.
I am a pickleball player, former health and fitness coach, and currently working in a private practice as an associate clinical mental health therapist. Pickleball is a sport I value for its creativity, physical challenge, and its ability to both quiet and challenge the mind. In my coaching, I go beyond advanced pickleball technique by integrating the mental side of the game. I represented the Czech Republic at the 2025 Pickleball World Cup Championship in Fort Lauderdale and designed a pickleball-based therapy program for teens with anxiety and depression—helping players build confidence, focus, and resilience both on and off the court.
