Coaching · All Levels · Miami
Private lessons and group clinics with experienced coaches — from your very first dink to tournament-ready, on our 6 outdoor courts.
Learn to Play
Pickleball is the easiest sport to start and the hardest to put down — and Dink Club is the best place in Miami to learn it. Whether you've never held a paddle or you're chasing a higher DUPR rating, our coaches meet you where you are and build a clear path to better play.
Every lesson happens on our outdoor courts at 10855 SW 112nd Ave in Kendall, tucked behind the JCC next to the baseball fields. Pick a one-on-one private lesson for focused, fast progress, or join a group clinic to learn alongside players at your level. Loaner paddles are available, so all you need is court shoes, water, and a willingness to dink responsibly.

Your Coaches
Learn from Dink Club's resident coaches — plus visiting professionals who headline our regular guest clinics.
Resident Coach
Coach Pillo has been coaching for over four decades. It started back in 1983, when he took his first job at just 19 — coaching high school basketball — and he never really stopped. Along the way he coached his son through his Little League baseball years and taught music lessons on the side. About three years ago he found pickleball, thanks to Dink Club — the opportunity that gave him his start and opened the door to a game he loves sharing with players of every level.
Off the court, he's been married to the love of his life for 40 years and is a proud grandfather of four.
