About Coach Karel

Greetings! I’m Coach Karel, and I hold certifications as a PPR pickleball coach, an Adaptive Sports Specialist, and a trauma-informed coach at Freedom Academy. My journey with pickleball began over a decade ago when I first picked up a paddle and played with my family. It quickly became a cherished part of our time together.

For the past two years, I've dedicated myself to teaching this fantastic sport to others, sharing not just the skills and strategies of the game but also fostering a supportive and encouraging environment for players of all levels. I am genuinely passionate about helping individuals discover the joys of pickleball while also guiding them on their personal growth journeys. I can’t wait to work with you and help you achieve your goals in both pickleball and life!
