Stingray Defined
Stingray Defined
The Stingray is a cordial, shy, carefree creature ...Until...Well, if provoked,...Careful !!
From the tennis courts to the pickleball kitchen, I’m known as Stingray. After 9 years of competing, medaling and losing a fair amount of matches in the US and Canada—from Golden Ticket Qualifiers, Sanctioned Tournaments to the US Open—I’m here to help you increase your competive edge and start progressing.
Whether you’re prepping for a league or just want to improve your game with your friend group in singles or doubles, we’ll dive into the tactics, rules, and "point-hunting" strategies that actually work.
I specialize in preparing players for League and Tournament play through structured sessions focused on:
Strategic Tactics: Identifying high-percentage point opportunities.
Official Rules: Ensuring you play with confidence and precision.
"Practice Makes Progress": Specialized drills for both Singles and Doubles.
