David Fisher is a teacher in Florida who became a pickleball instructor as a side gig last April. The coaching-certification process is reasonableI joined the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), which you need to do to become a pickleball coach, in April 2022. Given that this is South Florida, there are a lot of tennis pros who retire here and then continue playing and teaching tennis. Since I'm a self-employed pickleball instructor, I save my receipts for anything I purchase relating to the work, like paddles, balls, and the ball hopper. Teaching pickleball is funWhile pickleball is good for any age, I prefer to teach adults at this point.
