Nic Bekaert

I recently had a private pickleball lesson with Nic, Bekaert, and it was genuinely one of the best coaching experiences I've ever had. Nic focused our session on the kitchen game, specifically net volleys and dinking, and the improvement I felt was immediate. What sets him apart isn't just his elite-level knowledge; it's how he communicates it. He's a careful listener who takes the time to understand where you are as a player, and his explanations are clear, precise, and immediately actionable. The real test of any lesson is whether the coaching sticks when you're playing in real time, under pressure. So often, tips absorbed in a lesson evaporate the moment you step onto the court. Not with Nic. His strategies and cues are memorable and practical which is exactly the kind of instruction that translates into your game when it counts. Without question, Nic is the most effective coach I have ever worked with. If you have the opportunity to take a lesson with him, don't hesitate. -Chris B.

I'm still getting the hang of pickleball, but Nic's lesson on improving my paddle control was quite helpful. I still feel like I could use more practice though, and maybe some focus on my serve.

Nic is a great instructor. He can diagnose what is wrong and offer a solution. He patiently goes over the new technique until it is learned. He is very patient and supportive.

Nic gave clear instructions and had a good plan to help me progress. Very enjoyable lesson. Good progress.
