I specialize in teaching pickleball to women 50 and over who are just getting started. My goal is simple: help beginners feel comfortable, confident, and excited every time they step onto the court.
When you're new to pickleball, there's more to learn than just how to hit the ball…
You want to know where to stand, when to move, how to serve, what grip to use, and what you're actually supposed to do once the point starts.
You want to stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling like you belong out there.
We'll make sense of the rules, get your serve and grip working, show you where to stand and when to move, and work on the things that will make you feel more confident every time you step onto the court.
But honestly, that's only the beginning.
Because pickleball can become so much more than a game.
It can be the reason you get out of the house on a Tuesday morning. The place where you meet new women, laugh between points, find a regular group to play with, and suddenly have a whole new part of your social life.

Every stop has a purpose. Four focused hours take you from learning the basics to playing real points with confidence.
Introductions, paddle and court lines in plain English, then a gentle warm-up.
One grip that works for every shot, plus ready position and the split step.
A solo tap challenge, then partner rallies.
Small adjustment steps and side shuffles at the kitchen line.
Shadow footwork first, then live with a partner.
Soft hands, where to stand, and why patience wins more rallies than power.
Cross-court dinks, forehand and backhand, then a group rally challenge.
The serve rules without jargon, a comfortable underhand motion, and deep returns.
Target serving, return and move, then the full sequence.
The two-bounce rule, the kitchen, common faults, and scoring called out loud.
A coach-guided game with the score kept properly.
What it is, when it's worth trying, and when to return deep instead.
Serve, return, drop.
Rotating games with new partners each round, at a comfortable pace.
Questions, where to play locally, and a group photo.
You've played a little. You know the basics. But once the game starts, you're still not always sure where to stand, when to move, or what to do with the ball coming at you.
Why figure it all out the hard way when you can build the right foundation in just four focused hours?
We'll sharpen your serve, shots, positioning, movement, and decision-making… while you play and get coached in real time.
By the end, you'll stop wondering what you're supposed to do and start playing with confidence.
And that's when pickleball gets really fun: more games, new women to play with, better rallies, and a reason to look forward to getting back on the court.

This camp is designed specifically for players 50 and over. If you're 50+ and at the beginner level, you're exactly who I built this session for.
Most people come alone, and that is one of the best parts. Everyone walks in as a stranger and a beginner, which takes all the pressure out of the room. By the wrap-up, you'll be swapping numbers, and by the following week, a lot of my campers are playing together.
Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.
Yes! This camp is held in a fully indoor facility.
Because I don't just teach shots; I teach the positioning, decision-making, and tactical frameworks that create lasting improvement. Every drill has a clear purpose. Every correction is immediate and specific. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support.
