Hi and Kia Ora everyone, I’m Luke, your certified IPTPA LI & LII Pickleball Coach based in Auckland, New Zealand.

I discovered this amazing sport of pickleball over 5 years ago while I was living in Singapore. From my first game with friends, I was hooked!

Having played tennis since the age of 5, I found pickleball a somewhat easy transition with the basic strokes having similar (yet different!) mechanics to tennis.

I play tournaments around the region, including Australia, Singapore, South Korea and around New Zealand and have been able to achieve medals in different divisions over recent years. I have had the privilege to be captain of the East Auckland Interclub team 2024 and also lead teams in various competitions.

Now I enjoy coaching and training others to improve their pickleball game. Whether you are a beginner, immediate or advanced player we have the right drills and lesson plans for you to improve your game! We do this in a fun and safe environment either 1-on-1 or in groups up to 6 students. I am also available for school and club visits on a per booking basis.

As Head Coach of the new Auckland Pickleball Centre your lessons will be held at Auckland’s premier indoor pickleball only venue.

Happy Pickling !
