Amine A.

I am a passionate pickleball player and instructor currently completing my Level 1 Instructor Certification through the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR). My coaching focus is on helping beginners and recreational players learn the fundamentals of pickleball in a supportive and structured environment.

I work primarily with new players and early intermediate players, including adults, couples, and players who are picking up the sport for the first time. My lessons focus on building a strong foundation including serving, dinking, court positioning, and basic strategy while keeping sessions engaging and fun.

I design beginner-friendly drills that help players quickly improve consistency, control, and confidence on the court. My approach emphasizes clear instruction, repetition, and positive feedback to help players develop their skills and enjoy the learning process.

I currently offer private and small group lessons and am passionate about growing the sport by introducing new players to pickleball.

I have been actively involved in sports for many years and developed a strong passion for pickleball as both a player and instructor. While I did not compete at the collegiate or professional level, I regularly play recreational and competitive pickleball and continue to develop my skills through training and match play.

My focus is on building a strong understanding of the game’s fundamentals, strategy, and technique. I am currently completing my Level 1 Instructor Certification through the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), which emphasizes proper instruction methods, player development, and effective drill design.

My goal as a coach is to help new and recreational players quickly gain confidence on the court while learning the correct fundamentals from the beginning.

A typical session with me is structured, positive, and focused on helping players improve quickly while enjoying the game.

We usually begin with a short warm-up and rally session to get comfortable with the paddle and ball. During this time I observe the player’s technique, footwork, and overall comfort level on the court.

Next, we focus on core pickleball fundamentals, including:
• Serving and consistent returns
• Dinking and soft control at the kitchen line
• Proper court positioning and movement
• Third-shot fundamentals
• Basic doubles strategy and communication

I use simple, progressive drills that help players build consistency and confidence. For beginners, we often work on controlled dinking drills, target serving, and rally drills that develop touch and ball control.

Toward the end of the session, we typically play guided points or situational games, where I coach in real time and help players apply what they learned in a game setting.

My goal is for every player to leave the session with clear improvements, better technique, and drills they can continue practicing on their own.

I focus especially on helping beginners and recreational players build a strong foundation so they can enjoy the game and progress quickly.
