You Want To Play Pickleball. But Something’s Holding You Back.
Maybe you’ve felt it already:
01You show up to open play pero feeling mo pabigat ka sa partner mo.
02You’ve been playing for weeks pero feeling mo hindi ka nag-i-improve.
03Vinideo mo sarili mo and thought, “Oh no… mali yung form ko.”
04Nahihiya ka nang sumali sa open play kasi baka mapahiya ka or makaabala ka sa mas experienced na players.
05You don’t know the scoring, the rules, or where you’re supposed to stand.
06You’re embarrassed to be the worst one on the court.
07Nag-try ka magpa-coach pero feeling mo nakaka-intimidate yung coach or environment.
Playing more doesn’t always mean improving more.
Without guidance, you can end up practicing the same mistakes over and over — until they become much harder to unlearn.
Philippine Pickleball Academy Level 1 Certified Coach
Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Coach GL. I Was Exactly Where You Are.
When I started playing pickleball in August 2025, I did it the hard way.
No coach. Trial and error. Recording myself, watching the footage, cringing, adjusting, and trying again.
I improved, but it took longer than it needed to.
Most of the coaching I saw seemed geared toward intermediate and advanced players, and as a beginner, that environment felt intimidating.
So I decided to become the kind of coach I wish I had — started by designing a coaching experience that is welcoming to beginners and intermediate players.
I earned my Level 1 Coaching Certification from the Philippine Pickleball Academy through a pass-or-fail certification program.
Now I coach beginners with patience, clarity, real-time feedback, and a system that helps you understand the game instead of just copying movements.
“I don’t just teach you what to do. I coach you why you’re doing it. That’s the difference between memorizing shots and actually understanding the game.”
Real experiences
Don’t Take My Word For It. Here’s What My Clients Say.
Real reviews from real people.
★★★★★
“Wala akong sports background before trying pickleball, so sobrang beginner talaga ako. Pero dahil sa coaching, natuto ako ng proper form, footwork, etc. Very patient and supportive din yung approach kaya mas nagkaroon ako ng confidence sa court.”
★★★★★
“If you want to start your journey or try pickleball, I recommend getting a coach to lessen the errors and mistakes I did before. Coach GL will help you all throughout. I didn’t expect that I learned a lot in our 2-hour session.”
★★★★★
“Coach GL made the transition much easier and smoother than I expected. The guidance was clear, patient, and very detailed. Highly recommended for both complete beginners and athletes from other sports who want to learn pickleball the right way.”
★★★★★
“GL is very passionate about what he is doing. He doesn’t gatekeep his knowledge and skills but generously shares them so that his expertise will also be gained on our end.”
★★★★★
“Coach GL has been very patient with me. He explains things clearly, gives helpful corrections, and creates a comfortable environment to learn and improve.”
The GLD difference
This Isn’t Just “Hit The Ball Back” Coaching.
Most beginners don’t need more random court time. They need someone watching, correcting, and explaining in real time before bad habits become harder to fix.
Real-Time Form Correction
I analyze your form and technique as you play, so you’re less likely to develop habits you’ll have to unlearn later.
The “Why” Behind Every Shot
You’ll learn why a dink works better than a drive in certain situations, why footwork matters as much as your swing, and why patience can win more points than power.
Built For Absolute Beginners
No sports background? No experience? No problem. Sessions are designed so you never feel lost, judged, or overwhelmed.
Chill, Fun, No Pressure
As one student put it: “Di nakakapressure kase super chill lang.” You’ll actually enjoy learning.
Faster Improvement, Fewer Bad Habits
Skip unnecessary trial and error and learn strong foundations from your first few sessions.

“Isn’t It Cheaper To Just Learn On My Own?”
Here’s another way to look at it:
Without A Coach
- You could spend months reinforcing bad form without realizing it.
- You may spend more court hours later trying to fix habits you’ve already built.
- You can feel stuck at the same level without knowing why.
- You may eventually need coaching just to undo habits that became difficult to change.
With Coach GL From Day One
- You skip a lot of unnecessary trial and error.
- You build better foundations from your first sessions.
- You show up to open play with more confidence and understanding.
- You improve with intention instead of simply hoping more games will fix everything.
- You get feedback while the mistake is happening.
Coaching isn’t just about learning faster. It’s about learning with intention.
