Hi, I am a pickleball coach with over 10 years of playing experience and more than 5 years of dedicated coaching. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of players elevate their game, refine their skills, and—most importantly—have a blast on the court. My coaching philosophy is simple: I meet you exactly where you are in your pickleball journey. After making sure your core fundamentals are rock-solid, we will zero in on the specific skills that need the most attention to bring you the best results. Because everyone plays differently, every single session is tailored strictly to you. I don't just give generic advice like "don't pop the ball up." Instead, I analyze and correct the root causes—whether it is your grip, swing path, footwork, or court positioning. I teach because I love seeing that "aha!" moment when a concept finally clicks. I am so confident in our sessions that if you do not walk away feeling like you improved or learned something significant, there is absolutely no charge for the lesson. Let's step onto the court together and take the next step in your pickleball journey!
• We will discuss essential equipment—from proper court shoes and protective eyewear to finding the right paddle—while covering vital on-court safety. • Learn the core rules, court layout, and how scoring works. • Master basic paddle control, serving, return and the soft game

“I started lessons with Andrew three months ago with some basic beginner skills, and the 10‑pack was exactly what I needed. He had a clear, structured plan for each session and taught me skills I could practice on my own and then come back to refine with him. He was flexible with where my skill level actually was, but he also challenged me in the right ways. That combination helped me move ahead much faster than I would have on my own. By the end of the 10 lessons, I felt confident playing in social games. Highly recommend him for anyone wanting real progress and solid fundamentals.”

Andrew is a keen observer of body mechanics and paddle swing. He is a great help in correcting bad habits I've developed.
