A sport I fell in love with, and can't wait to share
I still remember my first game of pickleball, and I remember exactly why I got hooked. It's fast, it's social, and no matter your age or fitness level, you can walk onto the court and start playing within minutes. That's the beauty of this game, and it's exactly what I want every one of my students to feel.
I've since competed at a national level, picked up medals along the way, and played as part of an All Stars team, but coaching isn't about proving how good I am. It's about helping you fall for the game the same way I did, whether that's your very first rally or your first competitive win.
I coach six days a week, outdoors at Moore Park and indoors in Waterloo, for all ages and skill levels. You'll build confidence, learn the right skills and, most importantly, have fun.
Whatever your starting point, you're welcome on my court.
Find your fit
Every lesson runs for 60 minutes. Paddles and balls are provided, so you only need to bring yourself.
Group beginner session
Learn the ropes alongside others in a fun, low-pressure environment. Perfect for friends, couples or anyone who'd rather laugh through their first serve than stress over it.

Common questions
Do I need my own paddle?
Not at all. I have paddles available for beginners. Once you know you love it (you will), I'm happy to help you choose your first one.
I've never played any racquet sport. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most of my beginner students haven't either. Pickleball is designed to be picked up quickly, and that's exactly how I coach it.
Where do lessons take place?
Outdoors at the Sydney Racquet Club in Moore Park, and indoors at Pro Pickle in Waterloo. Both are easy to get to from across Sydney.
Should I start with a private or group lesson?
If you can, start with a private session. You'll pick up the fundamentals faster, then move into group lessons to practise and play with others.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens. Just let me know at least 48 hours ahead and we'll find a new time that works.
