Family Pickleball by Coach Tobin
Measurable improvement, made to order

A coaching lab,not a class schedule.

This is personal training for your pickleball game. One product: your program, built to order from a baseline assessment — and every month, the numbers show you exactly what got better.

You’ve been wasting your money

Coaching should not run on vibes alone

You take a lesson. It feels productive. You take another. Six months later you’re still playing the same game! — and nobody can tell you why.

I can. Because I measure everything. Assess, train, re-assess, repeat — until you reach your goal.

How it works

Assess. Build. Measure. Repeat.

1

Step 1

Tell me about your game.

A short intake questionnaire: your goals, your history, your schedule. Free, no commitment. You'll get a written snapshot of what I see before you spend a dollar.

Step 2

Baseline Assessment ($49).

One on-court session. I score your game across ten skill dimensions — serve/return, drive, third shot, dinks, resets, volleys, footwork, strategy, court movement, and the mental game — and you get a written report. This is your starting line.

Step 3

A program built for you.

From your intake and baseline, I design a 4–8 week program — individual or with your group, on your schedule. Not a class you join. A program built around what your numbers say you need.

Step 4

The numbers move.

We re-measure as we go. You see the trend lines. When a dimension climbs, you'll know it — and you'll know what caused it.

Three kinds of players find their way here.

Plateau Breaker

You've stopped improving. There's a reason.

You're a 3.0 to 4.25 who's taken the lessons, watched the videos, played the games — and stopped improving. Plateau-breaking is my specialty.

Adaptive

A core practice area, not an afterthought.

Players with disabilities have been an afterthought in this sport for too long. Here, adaptive pickleball is core — four years of it, with players learning to play full games and keep score.

Group programs

Improve together, on your schedule.

Your foursome, your family, your regular Tuesday crew. One program, built for your group, on your schedule.

Small on purpose

I keep the roster small on purpose.

After four years coaching the city programs in Tustin and Irvine — hundreds of players, all-day group classes — I rebuilt this practice around a different idea: fewer clients, deeper work. I take on 20 active players at a time. That’s the number where I can know your game, track your numbers, and design every program myself.

Small isn’t lonely. You don’t book a solo lesson here — you join a crew. Twenty players, one coach, your people on the court with you.

  • Play pals matched to your level
  • Member court time on the city courts I reserve
  • Mini-tournaments and fun plays when the crew is ready

Membership

Your progress, kept.

Members get a living progress portal: trend lines across all ten dimensions, goals you set with me, regular check-ins, and priority scheduling. Your improvement history becomes something you own — and something you can watch move.

$19/mo

In your portal

  • Trend lines across all ten skill dimensions
  • Goals set with your coach, tracked over time
  • Regular AI-assisted check-ins, coach-approved
  • Priority scheduling for programs & assessments

Pricing, plainly

Three prices.No packages.No pressure.

A $49 assessment to start, made-to-order programs from $180/mo, and a $19/moseat in the Lab. That’s the whole list.

Client progress stories are on the way — real trend lines, real players, once the first assessment cohort has numbers to show.

Until then, the numbers you’ll see are yours: every client gets their own report from session one.

Find out where your game actually stands.

The intake takes about five minutes and costs nothing. You’ll get an honest read on your game and a clear next step — whether or not that step is with me.

And if it is: you’re not signing up for lessons. You’re joining the Lab — your crew, your court time, your program.
