Matthew Johnson

Hi, I'm a newly certified Level 1 PPR Pickleball Coach, excited to share my passion for this incredible game with players around the world!

Coaching at Center Court

I've been playing pickleball for a full year and teaching dynamic group and private lessons at Center Court Pickleball in Gilbert, AZ. With high energy and genuine encouragement, I break down every aspect of the game—from technical strokes and the four key Game Situations to smart tactics—so everyone improves while having a great time.

From Baseball to Pickleball

A competitive baseball player through high school and college, I stepped away from sports after graduation until pickleball brought me back stronger than ever. Now it's my true passion, and I love helping others discover that joy of competition and connection on the court.

Beyond the Lines

I thrive in the social energy of pickleball, creating sessions that feel like fun with real skill-building. Off the court, you'll find me hiking Arizona's beautiful trails, working on woodworking projects, or enjoying a round of golf—always seeking that perfect balance of challenge and good company.
