John Ferris is the owner and founder of Pickleballers NYC. A lifelong love of sports and competition, combined with a true passion for coaching and pickleball, and PBNYC was born. Helping “ballers” safely learn the game while improving skills and excelling at pickleball is PBNYC’s mantra. At PBNYC, pickleball instructors are certified professionals. PBNYC works with “ballers” who have never played the game, or have some experience and are looking to take their game to the next level . PBNYC also caters to more experienced “ballers” who are looking to improve their overall game or fine-tune specific shots or strategies. PBNYC’s coaching philosophy is based on utilizing repetition, drills, and hard work while focusing on having fun. Pickleball is a great vehicle to bring people together in a healthy and enjoyable way. PBNYC embraces the energy, enthusiasm, and inclusivity of all in the pickleball community.
