*I AM NOT CURRENLTY TAKING ANY NEW PICKLEBALL STUDENTS*
Hi my name is Oliver and I am a fun, local Walnut Creek pickleball coach! I am also a local tennis coach with over 50 years of playing experience and over 35 years of teaching experience. I am also a PPR Certified Pickleball Professional (Level 1). I grew up in Germany, where I started playing tennis at the age of 6 and then quickly found success, winning the Youth Championship at TC Lindau for men’s singles, mixed doubles and secured 2nd place for the men’s doubles. I was part of the youth development program & also competed at a high level. After moving to California in 1990, I continued playing competitively from 1990-1996 at 4.5 and 5.0 USTA NorCal winning several tennis tournaments while still building my coaching career.
