Hello, and welcome to my website.
My name is Bob Elsholz. I am an experienced Pickleball player, trained, certified, and insured as an instructor/coach by the Professional Pickleball Registry. The PPR is a partner of the USA Pickleball Association, of which I am also a member.
I have been casually coaching Pickleball newcomers for several years because I enjoy their excitement and enthusiasm when they catch on to the game. Upon retirement from my business, I decided to become more involved with teaching as a second career and completed the PPR training and certification program. My instruction methods are geared toward beginners, as well as intermediate players who wish to improve their skill levels
In addition to conducting paid lessons and clinics, I am a volunteer Pickleball coach at a Morris County, New Jersey YMCA, a position which required me to complete safety training and pass rigorous background verification. I also provide volunteer coaching for beginning players at a local park in cooperation with the municipal recreation department. References can be provided upon request.
My approach to teaching Pickleball emphasizes safety, simplifies stroke technique, rules, court placement, and basic strategies, and promotes fun for players of all ages, while they learn the game.
I hold certifications in First Aid, CPR, and AED from The American Heart Association.
Private, semi-private, and group Pickleball lessons can be arranged, as well as introductory lessons or clinics for clubs, senior groups, day camps, adult schools, and municipal recreation facilities.
have fun, make new friends, and get MOVING!
