Eystratios Kokkinos

My name is Steve Kokkinos. I have been playing pickleball since 2020, and gravitated to this sport almost immediately. I come from a tennis background, started playing organized in High School and continued playing competitively in local leagues within my community in Northern NJ. 

I've been living in Brooklyn NY for the past 10 years now. I play at least 3 times a week. I have been teaching for most of 2025. 

Aside from love the sport, I find great joy in watching new and intermediate players of pickleball gaining new skills and advancing through my lessons and drills. This sport can be both intimidating and challenging to new comers, but with the court guidance and base fundamentals anyone can truly excel at playing pickleball. 

There is fun to be had at all levels of the game.
