About Panashe
Hello my name is Panashe and I am a fun, local Raleigh pickleball coach with over 3 years of playing experience & over 3 years of teaching experience! I am also a local tennis coach with over 18 years of playing experience and over 6 years of teaching experience. I started playing tennis at age 6 in Mutare, Zimbabwe. When I was 15 years old, I started to play tennis on the Junior U18 ITF (International Tennis Federation) Circuit. When I was 18, I came to the United States through an athletic scholarship and played tennis for Prairie State College in the 1, 2 and 6 singles flight and the 1 & 3 doubles flight.
In 2020, I transferred to Shaw University were I played 3, 4 and 5 singles as well as 1 & 3 doubles. I started coaching tennis during the summer of 2019 in Chicago. Thereafter, I have coached every other summer at Boerne Tennis in Boerne, Texas and at Wightman Tennis Center in Weston, Massachusetts. I have experience working with tennis enthusiasts of all ages and levels of play. I have worked with beginners, intermediate players and junior professionals. I have also worked with people who play tennis for health goals and in groups.

I started playing and teaching pickleball in 2021 at Wightman Tennis Center and since I had racquet skills from playing tennis, I was able to pick it up quickly. I have played/taught at club events (PRO AMPs).
I am offering fun private pickleball lessons, semi-private pickleball lessons, group pickleball lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot (dink), approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be happy to help you with your game!
I teach pickleball lessons in the Raleigh & Clayton area but will travel up to 30 miles to a pickleball court that is conveniently close to you.
Please contact me through my FindPickleballLessons.com coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, we’ll set-up your first pickleball lesson or hitting session at a time and place that is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you and to the opportunity to be your Raleigh pickleball coach out on the court!
