Coach Dave Kohlan
Hello VOCA Pickleball!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the VOCA Pickleball Club! I have lived in VOC for 30 years and have already met more friends on our courts than all those years combined!
I consider myself a Personal Pickleball Trainer rather than a coach. I have a master's degree in education and 37 years of experience, starting as a first-grade teacher and later training orthopedic surgeons. However, my favorite thing by far has been helping people learn to play what I believe is "the game that changed the world"! It is the first sport that ANYONE can play, and my top priority is making sure that everyone feels comfortable, positive, and proud so they continue playing forever. I have found that the best way to accomplish that is by training in two ways that synergize for continued progress. Those two ways are Personal Training and Progress Training.
I will be offering Personal Training (individual trainings) for $80/hour (or $70/hour for a prepaid package of four). Please contact me directly to register for those. I will also be offering Progress Trainings (groups of 8) for $20/hour (or $10/hour for prepaid package of four). For these trainings you will register on the website and then come to the courts Tuesdays at 1:00 (for beginners and lower intermediate players) or Thursdays at 1:00 (for upper intermediate and advanced players).
I am very grateful for the Pickleball Committee and their support. Please look for their continued communications on how to make what I like to call the "VOCA Pickleball Journey" a success for us all!
See you on the courts!
