Own the kitchen.

I build players who own the kitchen. Private lessons, split sessions, and tournament prep from Brooksville to Sarasota.

Jonah Matos on court

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.

[ Private hours ]

Or just
by the hour.

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

  • 01
    Private

    One-on-One Session

    Full attention on your game. We film, we diagnose, we drill the two things holding your rating hostage.

    Split the hour up to four ways — $60, $40, or $30 each.

    Semi-private

    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.

    Three and Me

    Grab two friends and put me in the fourth slot. We play real games at real pace, and you get coached inside the points instead of beside them.

    Four Plus Coach

    Four of you play and I coach from inside the game — stepping into a point where it needs it rather than calling it in from the sideline.

[ Player voices ]

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.
