Luan Tran - Pickleball Instructor / Coordinator

Luan was formerly a competitive tennis player who transitioned to the sport of pickleball in late 2020. He has focused on improving his own skills by becoming a true student of the game and learning from a variety of different players and instructors. In the process, he has developed a deep understanding of both the physical and mental aspects of pickleball. 

As an instructor, Luan brings a passion for helping players of all ages and levels improve their game through learning proper technique and strategic play. It has been said that pickleball is an easy sport to learn but hard to master so everyone can benefit from taking a lesson or two. Instruction is typically customized for the individual player or groups and focused on their overall goals.  

Luan is an International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) Level I certified instructor. Previously, he was a junior tennis instructor for the National Junior Tennis League (NJTL).
