ABOUT James

My curiosity about pickleball started with a simple YouTube video. But I was really hooked once I hit the courts and realized what an amazing sport it is in so many ways. I love playing recreationally, it keeps me fit and I’ve made so many new friends. But I’m also enjoying the more competitive side of the game and of course winning medals is fun too!

I’ve been coaching other sports (soccer, baseball) for many years so it made sense to transfer those skills to the pickleball court as well. I’m now an NCCP certified pickleball coach and have taught new and improving players in both group and individual settings. 

I look forward to meeting you and helping you take your game to the next level. 

My commitment to fostering the growth of pickleball extended to assisting Mona Lee (Mona Pickleball) with beginner classes in Vancouver, an experience that solidified my desire to pursue coaching more formally. I have had the pleasure teaching privately, semi-privately, community centre programs, corporate events,  and pickleball camps.
