KJ Klontz
Hi there, for the past several years I have helped coach 3.0/3.5 players, as well as mentored 3.5/4.0 players. I’ve competed at 5.0 mixed and 4.5, 4.0, 3.5 doubles/mixed tournaments for several years, medaling at Canadian Nationals, as well as many local, provincial and Palm Creek club tournaments.
Preparing for these competitions opened my eyes to the importance of drilling, team strategy, footwork and practicing proper techniques. This is what I would like to share with others. My coaching and mentoring experiences took place at Palm Creek Pickleball club in Casa Grande, Arizona. This year the club had 1500 members.

I have played pickleball for 15 years & play at a 4.0 level. I am also a Level 2 referee. I would be interested in mentoring 3.0 & up players interested in improving their play by helping them with positioning & movement on the court with their partner, basic game strategy & drills for more consistent strokes.
For players entering their first tournament, introducing them to officiated play & how to avoid mistakes that could cause them to have faults called against them.

I’ve been playing pickleball for about 7 years and play at the 4.0+ level. I am passionate about the game and love to mentor beginner players, as well as those at a higher level.
Let me know what you have questions about and we can discuss/play to focus on elements of the game like positioning, strategy, or anything else you may be wondering about.
I find that it works best with 3 players (with me as the 4th) so that we can simulate game situations. Most importantly, let’s have fun out there!

I play pickleball at the 3.5 level and you can find me at the courts most days. I enjoy helping players who are developing their game.
I am available to work with you to improve your skills, your understanding of the rules and offer suggestions on game strategy.
