About Tom’s Pickleball Hub
Sharing the Fun. Welcoming Everyone.
Meet Coach Tom Hincy
PPR Certified Coach · USA Pickleball Ambassador
Pickleball has brought so much enjoyment to my life. For me, the friendships, laughter, and sense of belonging are as valuable as a good game. Tom’s Pickleball Hub is my way of sharing that experience with others.
Through practical books, free learning resources, coaching ideas, and club-building guidance, I want to help people enjoy recreational pickleball—whether they are holding a paddle for the first time or have played for years.
More fun. More friendships. A place for everyone.
My goal is simple: help people feel welcome, play safely, and look forward to their next game. Learning new skills should build confidence and add to the enjoyment, at a pace that feels right for each person.
A welcoming court starts with small acts: introduce yourself, invite the player standing alone into a suitable game, encourage your partner, and be patient with mistakes. Friendly competition and kindness belong together.
Play safely. Keep having fun.
Eye protection, balance, sensible movement, and clear partner communication help us enjoy the game with care for ourselves and others. Take breaks and respect your own pace.
Make everyone feel welcome
Celebrate good rallies, offer advice when it is welcome, and treat every player with respect. Different abilities can have different games while everyone has a fair opportunity to play.
Build community
Help clubs become friendly places where newcomers find their feet, returning players find friends, and volunteers feel appreciated. Thank the people doing the work and lend a hand when you can.
