Private Lessons & Coaches in Oakville, ON, Canada

I’m a Level II certified pickleball coach who has taught more than 1,000 players and helped build two of the largest pickleball communities in North America. I’ve competed at a high level, winning gold at the 2023 Ontario Provincial Championships (Men’s Doubles 50+, DUPR 4.6). What makes me a good coach is my ability to break down skills clearly, teach with patience, and help players improve quickly through purposeful drilling and game-based learning. I genuinely love helping people get better and enjoy the sport.

"What sets Mike apart is his ability to teach any level. He helped my footwork and shot selection, but he also taught my spouse—who’s brand new—the basics in a way that felt comfortable and fun. He’s truly a top-tier coach.

With four years of extensive playing experience, I offer tailored instruction to elevate your game. My approach blends skill development with a genuine love for the sport. Let's refine your technique and strategy on the court!

"Easy to follow instruction. 15-20 minutes for the rules, then 20 minutes of practising, then final 20 minutes of a game.

With over three decades on the court and two decades coaching (both boys and girls 10-18 yrs old), I foster player growth through tailored conditioning and skill development, strategic practice fundamentals and live game awareness. My passion lies in nurturing well-rounded competitive athletes, boosting not only a players confidence, but individual goals as well. I'm dedicated to guiding each student to reach their full potential in basketball and life.
