About Mike Balcom
With over 10 years of playing experience and 7+ years of professional coaching, I've dedicated my life to the sport of pickleball. As former Head Instructor at Pickleball Global, creator of the Ocean Reef Club pickleball program, and instructor at Pickleball Global with Simone Jardin I've had the privilege of teaching thousands of students from beginners to advanced players.
My journey began as a volunteer coach with Pickleball for All, a 501c3 organization bringing pickleball to underserved communities. This experience ignited my passion for teaching and showed me the transformative power of this incredible sport.
