Meet us on the courts!

Pickleball is a sport in which two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications.

If you and a friend or group of players with similar abilities would like to improve your game, then a Semi-Private Pickleball Lesson could be the best for you.

This format is especially good for beginners to get started learning this great game. Grab a friend or group and give us a call to schedule a time. We also will be happy to find another Chicken N Pickle player to match you up with, if necessary.

The 3 and A Pro Lesson allows a Chicken N Pickle teaching professional to play along in games which allows immediate feedback on shot selection, strategic decisions and court positioning. This is a very effective learning environment for all levels of players when working on doubles strategy and tactics. In addition, time can be dedicated to developing new shots and partnership development as well.

PICKLEBALL PROS

Joshua Kind

I am currently a semi professional cricket player. I picked up pickleball in 2022 and have been playing ever since. I am a certified pro at CNP where I joined the team in May. I coach clinics, kids camps, and give other private lessons throughout the year. I play in 4.5+ (DUPR)  leagues and tournaments. I love the game and sharing it with others.

Drew Hill

I am currently the Pickleball Manager here at Chicken N Pickle in St.Charles. I started playing pickleball in 2021 when I got hired here at Chicken N Pickle. I have grown to be a really solid player that has not been officially rated. I help out with running tournaments, teaching beginner clinics, teaching kids camps and helping out with our private events that need lessons on how to play. Pickleball is such an amazing sport that anyone can play and I love to help grow the game.

Mike Burgio

Retired educator and high school football coach turned pickleball enthusiast. I’ve been playing since 2022 and love the sport’s mix of competition and community. As a CNP Certified Pickleball Instructor, I enjoy helping others grow their game. Originally from St. Louis, I now call St. Charles home. Outside the court, I’m into coaching, travel, photography, and time in the mountains or at the beach.

  

Zen Langley

I have worked at multiple Chicken N Pickles over the course of the last couple of years. While I began a part of the front of house team, I have migrated to the great section of pickleball. Playing pickleball and striving to be as good as I can has become a large part of my life. I am a certified pickleball professional, so don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Although I was hired for my award winning personality, my pickleball skills have come to shine through as I teach clinics and help as many people as I can learn the game.

Drew Disko

I’ve been with Chicken N Pickle St. Charles since we opened in December 2023, and I’ve been playing pickleball for nearly five years. Over that time, I’ve developed a strong passion for the game and enjoy helping others improve and enjoy it as much as I do. I’m a certified pickleball pro with CNP and currently compete in tournaments and play at a consistent 4.0+ level. During the fall and winter, when I can’t be on the courts as much, I play varsity and club hockey. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take your game to the next level, I’m here to help you learn, grow, and have fun with pickleball. My goal is to create a welcoming and encouraging environment where every player feels supported and motivated to reach their full potential.
