Roger Lee profile
About Roger

This is Roger Lee.  I am a PPR certified coach and teaching pro at Crow Canyon Country Club where I lead the pickleball programming organizing clinics and skills and drills workshops, and pickleball social activities. Because there is such a large demand for training, I also lead the “Train the Trainer” sessions to teach new coaches.  I grew up playing tennis through high school and college, played racquetball competitively afterwards, but have really enjoyed playing and teaching Pickleball. I promote pickleball everywhere I go across the US, and in countries that have never seen a pickleball like parts of Uganda and Kenya.  With eight years of coaching experience and a National Medalist title, I'm dedicated to helping you excel in pickleball. I offer tailored coaching to unlock your potential while fostering a fun, supportive learning environment. Let's elevate your game together!

What pickleball coaches in Palo Alto, California can help you work on

Private pickleball lessons in Palo Alto are built around your goals. Whatever you want to improve, a coach can focus each session on it. Here are the areas coaches in Palo Alto work on most.

Dinking and the soft game

Win at the kitchen line with controlled dinks, resets, and patience. Palo Alto coaches build the soft game that decides most pickleball points.

Serve and return depth

Start each point on the front foot with a deep serve and return. A coach in Palo Alto works on consistency, depth, and placement off both shots.

Third-shot drop and strategy

Master the third-shot drop and the transition to the net. Pickleball coaches in Palo Alto teach when to drop, when to drive, and how to take the line.

Volleys, putaways, and net play

Speed up the game, defend the body, and finish points at the net. Palo Alto coaches sharpen your hands, reaction time, and shot selection up front.

Footwork, positioning, and doubles

Move as a team, cover the middle, and stay in the right spot on the court. Pickleball coaches in Palo Alto drill footwork and doubles strategy.

Kids & youth pickleball lessons in Palo Alto, California

Looking for youth pickleball coaching in Palo Alto? We match kids and teens — from first-timers to high-school and club players — with coaches who specialize in junior development. Private youth pickleball lessons run at the same weekly rate as adult lessons.

Vetted, background-checked pickleball coaches

Every coach who works with kids goes through identity and background screening before being matched with young students, and their safety vetting is shown on their profile — so you can book with confidence.

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18

Coaches in Palo Alto teach juniors from as young as 5 through high-school and competitive athletes, tailoring each session to your child's age, level, and goals — whether that is first-time fundamentals, building confidence, or tryout and team prep.

Parents welcome at every pickleball lesson

Parents are welcome to stay and watch — many do, especially with younger kids — but it is never required. Either way, your coach shares progress and what to practice between lessons.

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?

T

Coach Travis

pickleball coach

If kids are under 8, it’s about engagement and having fun. Lots of encouragement, making each shot part of a noncompetitive game. Ages 8-13 is when skills training is ideal. Can be the most intensive age where a child wants to develop their game and needs lots of repetition with hitting partners of similar ability.
