About Jeff Gill

Helping people play smarter, stronger and more strategically

Hi, my name is Jeff Gill and I work full time as a pickleball coach on Auckland’s North Shore and I love helping others unlock their full potential on the court. 

I’m certified member of the IPTPA with both level 1 and level 2 qualifications, allowing me to teach players up to an advanced level (4.0 DUPR).

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to break through to the next level, I offer coaching that’s practical, precise, and personalized. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter lessons — every player is different, and your training should be too.

Who I Work With

  • Beginners looking to learn the rules and build a strong foundation to grow from

  • Intermediate players ready to stop plateauing

  • Experienced competitors preparing for league play and tournament conditions

  • Any age and any level of mobility

Each session is customized to meet your needs, even in a group with mixed abilities.

My Coaching Style

I bring energy, positivity, and relentless encouragement to every session — because I know that confidence is just as important as technique. I coach with patience, focus and respect, and I meet each player where they’re at. I want you to feel supported, challenged, and pushed to improve.

I take your improvement seriously, but I also believe in keeping the environment light, motivating, and focused on progress — not perfection.

My job is to bring out the best in you, as a player, a student and a competitor.
