MEET OUR COACH
We’d like to put the spotlight on Coach Andre Sobers, he is a great addition to the Cross Court Pickleball community. Known for his patience, energy, and love for the game, Andre creates a welcoming atmosphere where players feel supported as they learn, grow, and challenge themselves.
Since first stepping onto a pickleball court in 2022, Andre has become a recognized figure in the Maritime pickleball community. What began as a single introductory lesson turned into a deep passion for the sport, leading him to compete in tournaments across the region and earn medals in both singles and doubles.
Andre brings that competitive experience directly into his coaching. As an NCCP Level 2 Certified coach, he focuses on helping players strengthen fundamentals, build smart strategies, and grow their confidence. Known for his patient, encouraging approach, Andre is committed to guiding athletes at every level, whether they’re picking up a paddle for the first time or preparing for tournament play.
Train with Coach Andre
Players can book private coaching sessions with Andre for personalized instruction tailored to their goals and skill level. Andre is also the coach leading our popular Reaching 3.0+ program, helping players bridge the gap between recreational play and more consistent, confident game play.
Private Coaching Rates:
$60/hour – 1 player
$40/hour per person – 2 players
$30/hour per person – 3–4 players
Sessions typically begin with a brief assessment, followed by focused work on the areas you want to improve, whether that’s fundamentals, shot selection, consistency, footwork, or game strategy.
If you’ve trained with Andre before, you already know what makes him stand out. Andre brings a calm, encouraging presence to the court, paired with strong attention to detail and a genuine passion for helping players improve. His sessions are structured, supportive, and challenging in all the right ways, leaving players feeling more confident, motivated, and excited to put their new skills into action.
