INSTRUCTOR HIGHLIGHT

Scott "Action" Jackson

Professional Pickleball Registry - Pro Certified 

I was raised in Tustin and attended Arroyo, Hewes, and Foothill. My passion for tennis started at 6 years old and pickleball in 2014.  I started playing tennis tournaments at age 12.  I played on private club teams, varsity at Foothill for all four years, and college tennis at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. I played tennis for more than 43 years!

 

I retired from tennis in 2014 and was introduced to pickleball that same year by Lynne Kodzis, a childhood friend from elementary school.

 

My pickleball coaching career started in 2022, and I became a “Certified Pickleball Coach" at Level 1 that same year.  I am currently working on “Certified Pickleball Coach Level 2”.  I specialize in beginner and intermediate tennis players transitioning to pickleball, children, private lessons, and clinics (group lessons).

 

My goal for beginners is to give them an excellent foundation for the Pickleball game so their games will flourish. My goal for intermediate players is to show them the nuances of pickleball and get them to the advanced level.  

My goal for children is to teach them fundamentals and make the lessons fun.

 

Lastly, all lessons incorporate drills and tactics, and also playing at the end of each lesson in order to ingrain what students learned that day.

 

See you on the pickleball courts!
