Hi I’m Rick a Level 1 Professional Pickleball Registry Certified Coach who loves helping players unlock “lightbulb moments” on the court. I work with all ages and skill levels, from true beginners who have never picked up a paddle to developing players looking to add strategy, consistency, and confidence to their game. My coaching style is positive, energetic, and highly supportive. I’m big on fundamentals, proper technique, and injury-prevention, and I’ll make sure you leave every session feeling more skilled, more confident, and more in love with pickleball than when you arrived. I currently teach private pickleball lessons, clinics that focus on developing technical skills and applying them to tactical game situations. I work with both children and adults through one-on-one coaching and group instruction. My teaching style emphasizes confidence, communication, and steady progress. I love adapting lesson plans to ensure each participant is challenged appropriately, whether they are brand-new beginners or competitive players looking to improve performance. I focus on simple, clear instruction that players can instantly apply, and I tailor every session to how you learn. Whether you want to improve your grip, footwork, serve, dink game, third-shot drop, or overall strategy, I’ll show you exactly what to do — and why it works! If you’re ready to learn the game the right way — and have a blast doing it — I’d love to work with you. Let’s play! Rick Adamy PPR Level 1 Certified Coach Serving the Tampa Bay area

"Today was my first time training with Coach Luis, and it was an awesome experience. He taught me the roll, the flick, and how to improve my dinks in a way that was super easy to understand. He broke down each technique step-by-step and made sure I really got the feel of the shots. I already feel more confident and see improvement after just one session. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and knows exactly how to correct mistakes without making you feel pressured. Highly recommend Coach Luis for anyone who wants to level up their pickleball game!

"I recommend Bacem as a coach because of his tremendous knowledge, experience and his style of explaining things and making it make sense to anyone. I struggled with popping balls, my backhand returns and landing my serve consistently. Learned from Bacem that I don’t need to crush my serve and I just need to land it, now I almost land 100% of my serves. ✅ I also implanting his feedback on how to grip and position my paddle for backhand returns, how to be ready with my paddles at all times, how to anticipate the ball and read the play. I was also advised to focus on watching the opponent how they serve so I know what to expect and how to return it without hitting out or short. Bacem is still my coach and planning to continue to improve my game.
