I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you. ## Packages and prices - **Lesson Package**: 4 prepaid 60-minute lessons for $160.00 ($40.00 per lesson).

His deep understanding of the game, combined with a clear and encouraging teaching style, has really enhanced my confidence and approach on the court. He breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to follow and always tailors sessions to fit my needs and goals. Beyond just skills, Coach Paul makes every lesson enjoyable and motivating. If you're looking to grow your pickleball game with a knowledgeable and supportive coach, I highly recommend Coach Paul! > From Dolores, 5 out of 5 > I’ve had 3 lessons with Paul and I’m going to sign up for more! I came to him as a 3.0 player looking to improve my game with better offense. He has worked with me on topspin, speedups and roll volleys which have all been terrific! He also had a drill to specifically increase my aggressiveness. He is patient and will work with you on what you want to learn as well as point out areas of weakness. He gave me some great wall drills to practice between sessions. I couldn’t recommend Paul more highly for the intermediate player!! > From Cynthia, 5 out of 5 > I recently had the pleasure of taking a pickleball lesson, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain the rules and techniques in a way that was easy to understand. The lesson was well-structured, allowing us to progressively build our skills and confidence on the court. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Paul for pickleball lessons. I can't wait to book my next session! > From Richard, 5 out of 5 > PJ is an amazing coach! I have taken over 20 lessons with him (individually and as a group), and I have gotten more than I could have ever expected out of the lessons. He’s very knowledgeable, and he explains pickleball concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He also creatively makes modifications as needed in drilling exercises and in recreational games to even out the level of play between all players. I look forward to taking additional lessons with him and continuing to increase my skills. > From Carrie, 5 out of 5 > I’d say the lesson gave me some useful pointers, especially on my serve placement and positioning, which I hadn’t really thought much about before. Still, I think I could benefit from more drills to really feel comfortable applying what was covered. Paul was quite clear and patient, though, and I’m hopeful that with continued practice, I’ll improve my game for open play. Would probably consider trying another lesson to keep that momentum going. > From Ed, 5 out of 5 > We had a wonderful private pickleball leason with Paul. He is not only an excellent player but also a very skilled and patient instructor. He uses his own unique teaching methods which made the lesson orh enjoyable and extremely valuable. We learned so much in just on session and came away with many useful techniques to practice. We are very happy to have found Paul and definitely plan to continue taking lessons with him. Highly recommended! > From Jianguo, 5 out of 5 > Wow, honestly, I was pretty happy with the lesson, especially since I managed to win my first game. Still, I think a bit more practice could help turn those wins into consistent ones. Paul’s teaching style felt relaxed yet focused, which I appreciated. He pointed out some areas to work on but also highlighted what’s already working well. If you're looking to improve your pickleball skills, you might want to give him a shot. > From Denise, 5 out of 5 > Coach Paul is a great coach who teaches the basics of pickleball with fun games and drills. He taught my kids to play, and he has taught me and my friends to play, in both group classes and individual sessions. His main court is Ft Scott which has new courts and a training wall; he will travel throughout the DMV within a 10 mile radius of Arlington, VA. He has great rates; book him today! > From Jessica, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/paul-park/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/paul-park/services/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons](https://sites.coach/paul-park/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/paul-park/private-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/alexandria) - [Lessons in Annandale](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/annandale) - [Lessons in Arlington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/arlington) - [Lessons in Falls Church](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/falls-church) - [Lessons in McLean](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/mclean) - [Lessons in Vienna](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/vienna) - [Lessons in Washington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/washington-district-of-columbia) - [Lessons in Washington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/areas/washington-dc) - [ACHS Minnie Howard, Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/achs-minnie-howard-alexandria) - [Chambliss Park, Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/chambliss-park-alexandria) - [Chinquapin Park Recreation Center, Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/chinquapin-park-recreation-center-alexandria) - [Eugene Simpson Stadium Park, Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/eugene-simpson-stadium-park-alexandria) - [Potomac Yard Tennis Courts, Alexandria](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/potomac-yard-tennis-courts-alexandria) - [Wakefield Park, Annandale](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/wakefield-park-annandale) - [Fort Scott Park, Arlington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/fort-scott-park-arlington) - [Hayes Park, Arlington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/hayes-park-arlington) - [Lubber Run Community Center, Arlington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/lubber-run-community-center-arlington) - [Thomas Jefferson Community Center, Arlington](https://sites.coach/paul-park/locations/thomas-jefferson-community-center-arlington) - [Boyd A. & Charlotte M.
