Riley O’Connor

Hey there! I’m a passionate pickleball coach with over 15 years of tennis experience and a love for helping beginners, kids, and new players get into the game. I played college tennis for two years before making the switch to pickleball, and I’ve never looked back! Along the way, I’ve earned multiple 4.5+ level medals and even medaled in tennis tournaments in Scotland and England. I’ve gained a deep appreciation for the sport’s fast-paced, fun, and social nature.

‍

My coaching style is all about creating a welcoming and supportive environment where players can build confidence, improve their skills, and, most importantly, have fun. I know how intimidating it can be to start something new, so I focus on breaking things down in a way that makes learning easy and enjoyable. With my strong background in tennis, I bring a solid understanding of strategy, footwork, and athletic movement to every lesson, helping players build a strong foundation from the start.

‍

Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to help you feel comfortable on the court and take your game to the next level. Pickleball is for everyone, and I can’t wait to share my love for the sport with you. Let’s get out there and play!

Bonus: I have clocked the fastest serve from all the coaches at Austin Pickle Ranch, at 68 MPH. (Faster than Camden, don’t listen to him.)
