What I run
Five event flavors.
Each scales to your group size, skill mix, and goals. Format is tailored — never a one-size-fits-all clinic.
Birthday parties
Kid or adult, beginner or experienced. Format scaled to the energy of the room — fundamentals, dink ladders, mini-tournaments, or just coached fun play.
Corporate & team-building
Offsites, all-hands, client appreciation. Mixed skill levels welcome. We finish on a high — usually a coached round-robin with prizes.
Social mixers
League nights, neighborhood meet-ups, club socials. I run the format so everyone plays meaningful points; nobody sits on the sidelines.
Health & wellness
HOAs, retirement communities, gyms, wellness programs. Low-impact, mobility-friendly progressions for first-time players.
Something else?
Bachelor/bachelorette weekends, summer camps, league launches, league championships, charity tournaments, fundraisers — if pickleball belongs in it, fill out the form below and we'll shape it together.
How it works
Four steps from inquiry to courts.
- Send the request — tell me the event type, headcount, date window, and venue (if you have one).
- Get a quote within a day — recommended format, pricing, and any venue help you need.
- Lock the date + deposit — small deposit holds the date; balance due day-of.
- Show up and play — I bring paddles, balls, nets if needed, and the format. You bring the crew.

Common questions
Questions, answered.
How many people can you handle?
From a 4-player birthday up to ~40 across multiple courts. Larger groups are split into rotating stations so nobody is standing around.
Do you provide paddles and balls?
Yes — loaner paddles for first-timers, fresh balls, and portable nets if your venue doesn't have a court setup. Just confirm headcount when booking.
Where can you run an event?
Within ~35 min of Olney, MD (MoCo + DC + nearby PG/Howard/NoVA). I can also help find a public or private court if you don't have one lined up.
How is pricing structured?
Quote-by-headcount — there's a base coaching fee plus a per-player rate that scales with group size. Reply to the form below with rough numbers and you'll get a quote within a day.
What about beginners?
Most of my events are mostly-beginner. The format is designed for people who've never held a paddle — every drill has a ladder so the experienced players are also challenged.
