Meet Coach Kimo Hansen – Your Guide To The Next Level
I’m an IPTPA Master Teaching Professional and Tournament and League Director with over 29 years of coaching and mentoring in pickleball and other sports.
I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping intermediate players build the skills, confidence, and love for this game that keeps them on the court for life, especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
I don’t just coach pickleball. I certify the people who coach pickleball. When I coach you, you’re learning from the person who teaches the teachers.

My approach: I place a strong emphasis on the player experience. Every player, whether brand new or advanced, should feel welcomed, encouraged, challenged, and excited to come back and play again.
My coaching style combines positive energy, patience, strategy, and encouragement. I’m a people person at heart, and I love creating an environment where players can relax, laugh, compete, and improve at the same time.
Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court… I’ll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.
Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.
They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhaustive power.
They understand the mental game.
They play multiple times a week with energy.
They build lasting friendships while improving their game together.

WHY WE'RE OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)
Most intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation
You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting third shot drops repeatedly, while an IPTPA master teaching professional watches and guides every rep.
And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with drilling:
Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you and you put it away cleanly.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of my intermediate camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch yourself go from “I keep making that mistake” to “I just fixed it!” in a single afternoon.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED OFF THE COURT FRUSTRATED?
You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That feeling ends on September 19
Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, September 21 (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your pickleball court for your weekly game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
“What happened to you?”
Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you’re controlling rallies with patience and precision they’ve never seen from you before.
By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.
That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.
And it all starts the moment you register, because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WALK AWAY WITH (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself
I’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy. This is especially important for us 50+ players: you’ll learn to play smarter, not harder.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
I’ll connect you with other passionate players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.
You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation
I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.
You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back
I’ll help you identify the technical flaws that are currently limiting your game. When I show you exactly how to fix them, with the precision of a 4.8-rated pickleball coaching veteran, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.
Most players spend years battling the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single morning.
That forehand that used to sail long? Now landing deep with topspin.
The backhand you avoided? Now a dependable go-to shot.
The serve that made you nervous? Now setting up points in your favor.
You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game
I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…
On September 19, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau, that’s when the obsession returns.
