Pickleball lessons and coaching in Tampa BayTrainLikeA Pro
I build players who own the kitchen. Private lessons, split sessions, and tournament prep from Brooksville to Sarasota.
I treat this game like a full-time obsession, which is the only reason I can hand you a shortcut. A left shoulder injury turned me toward coaching full-time, and I have spent every day since drilling mechanics, dissecting match film, and testing strategies so you don’t have to waste time figuring it out on your own.
As a pro pickleball coach in Tampa, I turn that work into a direct blueprint for my students. We skip useless drills and focus exclusively on high-yield reps: footwork timing before the split-step, paddle face control on high-pressure fourth-shot resets, and mastering kitchen line warfare.
Whether you need personalized 1-on-1 pickleball lessons in Tampa, focused youth development at our kids academy, or high-intensity intermediate pickleball drills in Tampa, every session is engineered to move your DUPR fast. We also run daily pickleball clinics in Lutz at Ace for 4.0 to 5.0+ players, as well as high-energy pickleball corporate events in Tampa for company team-building outings.

lessons, by the hour.
Five ways to work together one hour at a time, from a private lesson to four of you sharing the court.

Semi-Private (2-on-1)
You and one partner on one coach. The pace stays up, and you get a live body to hit against between the reps instead of a ball machine.

Pickleball bootcamps,
cohorts and corporate events.
Three ways in, built around outcomes instead of hours. Each has its own page with the full schedule and price.
“Jonah rebuilt my third shot in three sessions. I went from getting bullied at the line to dictating the point. Jumped a full rating in a season.”

Pickleball lessons,
your questions.
How much do pickleball lessons in Tampa cost?
A private one-on-one session is $120 an hour. The hour costs the same however many people stand in it, so two players pay $60 each, three pay $40 each, and four pay $30 each. Daily Academy sessions in Lutz are $50 for one session and $40 each in a five-session block.
Where are the lessons held?
The daily Academy runs at Ace Pickleball Club in Lutz, indoors and climate-controlled. Private lessons and split sessions travel to courts around Tampa, including Northlakes Park, anywhere from Brooksville down to Sarasota.
What level of player do you coach?
The daily Academy runs at a 4.0 to 5.0+ pace. If you are below that, a private hour is the better place to start. Tell me your rating and what keeps falling apart and I will point you to the right fit.
Do you run pickleball bootcamps or a DUPR program?
Yes. The Weekend Bootcamp is two four-hour days, Saturday and Sunday, in a small group, from $350 to $500 per player. The DUPR Accelerator is an eight-week cohort capped at 16 players for $1,200.
Can you run a corporate pickleball event?
Yes. A corporate event is a half day for up to 20 people with no fitness prerequisite. It includes an hour of group instruction, a mini-tournament and paddles for everyone, and runs $2,500 to $5,000 depending on group size.
How do I book a lesson?
Use the booking page, or send a message with your rating and what keeps falling apart. Every message gets a reply within a day.
