Nick started Take the Next Step to help people entering the game improve rapidly. He teaches for The Pickleball Community Volunteer Group instruction team in several different classes. He has been playing for several years and also plays competitively.

An Army veteran; he was a helicopter flight instructor for over 30 years. He was a trainer and judge for horse events for several years in his “spare” time. Teaching physical and mental skills is second nature to him.

A comment often heard is that the Villages classes are good but very difficult to get into and even harder maintain any continuity. Our solution is offering private lessons for a fee. Here you will receive personalized instruction and move at the pace you choose. Compared to the cost to play golf it’s a bargain!
