If you are thinking about learning to play the fastest growing sport in the nation, but are hesitant to begin, read this short bio of our most popular Rhode Island instructor, Coach Phyl. Her experience and coaching style can help to ease your concerns. Hello and welcome! I’m Coach Phyl, and I am so glad you’re here. Let me tell you a little about why I love to work with beginning pickleball players. Pickleball is life, and I mean that literally. I took up the sport just as the Covid pandemic was shifting into high gear. It was the one thing I could do, despite my advanced age, while lockdown was beginning to happen all around me. It got me off the couch and moving, which I believe saved me from losing my mind, my passion for life, and my muscles, such as they are. It was kismet. I quickly recognized how similar the movements and strategies were to a game called Ace King Queen that I had played as a child. I loved and missed that game. Pickleball felt almost like finding it again. I fell in love with it immediately, not only for the game itself, but also for the social void it filled. Pickleball has brought many wonderful people into my life while providing me with a fun way to stay active during my “golden” years. I am filled with gratitude for all that it gives me, and I want to share these benefits with as many people as I can. We will have fun while you learn and practice new drills and skills. Pickleball is a multi-tiered sport that can be played by just about anyone. There is no better way to learn the basics than through in-person coaching. My teaching style is relaxed and non-confrontational. You will learn the rules of the game, proper warm-up techniques, paddle basics, a variety of strokes, serving options, targeting, timing, and the importance of drilling, with a few advanced strategies thrown in for good measure. As I like to say, just do it! There's no time like the present, so join me. See you on the court! Speaking of courts… While I am willing to travel to other courts, I encourage you to choose the courts at the John H. Chafee Sports Complex at 450 Hope Road in Western Cranston. These courts are well maintained and easy to get to. I love playing there, and I think you will, too. That said, if the weather calls for rain or otherwise is not in a cooperative mood (think wind, intense heat, snow, etc.), then a good choice would be the private indoor court at Open Table.

"Okay, I was pretty satisfied with the lesson with Phyllis. She paid close attention to my technique and offered useful tips that I can actually apply to my game. Still, I think I need a bit more practice, but I’m hopeful her guidance will help me improve. If you’re looking to refine aspects of your pickleball skills, you might want to give her a try.

"I've worked with several coaches over the years, but Coach Boeglin stands out as truly exceptional. As someone who played high level high school ball, I was looking for someone who could fine-tune my game to prepare for the college environment (not just run drills) and he delivered. His attention to detail, knowledge of high-level strategy, and ability to break down even the most subtle aspects of footwork, timing, and decision-making have elevated my game significantly. He pushes me to compete at my highest level every session, while still being incredibly supportive and focused on my growth. Whether it’s sharpening my off-ball movement, increasing my efficiency in pick-and-roll situations, or improving my conditioning and mental toughness, every workout is purposeful and intense. He treats the game like a craft, and it shows in his coaching. Highly recommend for serious players who want to level up and reach their full potential.
