Private Pickleball Lessons in Honolulu

Hawaii Pickleball Academy™ offers private lessons which are the fastest way to improve your game. By focusing entirely on your unique strengths and challenges, you'll progress much quicker than in a large group setting.

With over 20 years of experience teaching tennis and pickleball, I know that no two players learn the same way. That's why I tailor every session—there's no one-size-fits-all approach. I've coached pros like Jaume Martinez Vich and Marcel Chan, but I primarily work with players who want to sharpen their skills or simply enjoy the game more. In 2025, I became fully certified (not because certification makes the coach, but because it provides benefits like liability insurance).

I teach in the Honolulu area Monday–Friday, with flexible scheduling available upon request. I accept credit cards, Venmo, or cash. Fill out the form below, and I'll be in touch with my availability.

Whether you've never picked up a paddle or you're gearing up to compete in tournaments, our personalized approach focuses entirely on your strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

  • Faster Progress: With undivided attention, your coach pinpoints exactly what you need—whether it's refining your serve, improving your footwork, or mastering strategy.
