Janette Gray
Pickleball Coach in San Diego, California
Five years ago, during the pandemic, I began playing pickleball regularly, quickly falling in love with the sport. Over the past two years, I've immersed myself in the game, playing, drilling, and competing in tournaments up to four times per week. While unofficially coaching beginners during this time, my passion for pickleball has grown immensely, driving me to train towards becoming a senior pickleball professional. Currently rated around 4.1 on the DUPR rating scale, I actively participate in advanced tournaments, aiming to elevate my skills further on the path to achieving my professional goals. As a medical doctor, I see pickleball as embodying the values of health, happiness, and community, and I'm eager to share these aspects of the game with others.

“The lesson with Janette was quite helpful, especially in developing better control of my shots. Though I still need to work on my consistency, I appreciated her clear guidance and the relaxed atmosphere. It’s encouraging to see progress and I’m optimistic about future lessons to fine-tune my technique. If you're looking for someone who focuses on practical skill-building without rushing, I’d suggest giving Janette a try! ”

I really enjoyed learning the basics with Janette. She made the it easy to understand and the practice session was very engaging. If you want a clear and fun introduction to pickleball, her lessons are a great place to start. Will be happy to have another lesson with her! 🎾🙂

I’m a little clumsy so I was a little shy about starting to play. All my friends at school are playing so I had to learn. Janette made it easy and fun. I’m now playing weekly with my friends and am getting better. I’m ready for another class with her!

My partner and I had our first pickleball lesson today with Janette. We are both in our late 70’s and she was wonderful with us. Her explanations were always clear, she was very patient, and we had a grand time. We highly recommend her! Bev & Ed

I’m a little older and was worried I could hurt myself. Janette showed me the basics of the game but also took the time to educate me about proper stretching and things not to do to avoid injuries. She is excellent and I will see her again soon
