Phillips Pickleball

I'm Mark Phillips, a USAPA certified pickleball coach for eight years. My success as a coach stems from a unique instruction philosophy that will help you improve your game faster compared to what's offered by other instructors. 

What level are you? In my opinion....

Beginner - you're just happy to get the ball over the net. :) You're losing more games than you're winning. You may not be very mobile, not able to get to balls and you need help with your strokes and basic strategy. 

Advanced Beginner - You get the ball over the net but you're not good at aiming the ball or hitting it where you want. Your shots are often high making it easy for the opponents to slam. You need help on where to be on the court. You're rarely dinking in a point. You might be considered a 2.5 - 3.0 player.   

Intermediate - You're able to aim the ball pretty well but you're not very good or consistent on your third shots. You're not using spin on your shots yet. Your games have more dinking but you need help on making your dinks more effective. You could use help on making your serves and return of serve more effective. You might be considered a 3.0 - 3.5 player. 

Private classes are available for $60/hr for 1-4 people at private courts near 56th St and Greenway, a couple miles west of Kierland Commons. Day or evening.
