YOUTH ACADEMY COACH
Meet Coach Phil
Coach Phil brings over 50 years of paddle and racquet sports experience. A PCI-certified pickleball coach, he has taught junior players and led youth programs.
His coaching builds strong footwork and court awareness through competitive drills, games and hands-on practice.
Phil loves coaching young players for their creativity and adaptability. He helps them learn through play, building patience, court positioning and good decisions along the way.
A SAMPLE FROM TRAINING
Partner rallies: 10, 20, 30
From Coach Phil’s youth camp curriculum: practice coach-fed forehand and backhand dinks, then pair up for rallies over the net. Work toward 10, then 20, then 30 before taking those skills into a rotating kitchen game.
