A New Jersey native that moved to the South Shore MA area over 12 years ago. Steve is a consummate ‘educator’ that loves teaching at all levels, having worked as a professor at Rutgers University, Parks & Recreation tennis instructor, and coach for all of his children’s various sports endeavors. He was trained and certified as a pickleball instructor by PPA pro and current PPR managing director Sarah Ansboury. He also completed the USA Pickleball Youth Development program focusing on specific teaching methods for various age groups. Steve’s coaching philosophy is to ensure that pickleball is SAFE and Fun-Fun-Fun for everyone that picks up a paddle. He adjusts lesson / clinic content to meet the desired goal(s) of the student and does not employ a ‘cookie cutter’ approach. Every student has their own unique background and experiences, some even without any sports background of any kind. Steve is adept at leveraging these things to help student’s learn and improve their pickleball skills.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFUN - 100% - we can address rules, scoring, strategy at a later time. We need to feel what it is like hitting a “wiffle ball” with a paddle, soft ones, hard ones, short and long and find out how to control those… end with drill game that teaches how to build consistency and then share a little ‘homework’ 😉
Lesson 11+Advance technical skills for serve/return, hands battles, dinking, counter attacks, lobs, topspin, sidespin, etc.
Lesson 4-10Advance skills for play at NVZ (kitchen), transition area, and back court with focus on co sistecy and control. Introduce tactical concepts to help understand strategy for various situations
Lesson 2-3Share information about playing the game, basic rules, scoring, playing mini-games to reinforce key points and work on basic technical skill building
