Meet the Pro: Todd Zukowski
Pickleball at Ocean Edge
Head Pickleball Pro Todd Zukowski brings both high-level competitive experience and a genuinely approachable coaching style to Ocean Edge.
A PPR Certified Teaching Pro, RacketPro Level II Certified instructor, and member of the Cape Cod Sharks Senior Pro Team, Todd has earned more than 40 tournament medals while building a reputation for helping players sharpen their game without taking the fun out of it.
Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to refine strategy, positioning, and shot selection, Todd is there to personally coach players through clinics, private instruction, and open play. He also helps organize round-robin tournament play and match solo players with others at a similar level, creating the kind of social, competitive energy that keeps the game going long after the first rally.
It’s Not About Getting Serious
There’s a misconception that instruction is only for advanced players. In reality, it’s the fastest way to improve at any level. Beginners pick things up correctly from the start. Intermediate players start to understand why certain patterns aren’t working. More experienced players refine the edges like timing, placement, and control. A good coach meets you exactly where you are and shows you what to change, not everything you’ve done wrong.
The Small Shift That Changes Everything
It might be a softer grip, a better position at the net, or a different decision on the third shot. Small things, easy to miss, but impossible to unsee once someone points them out. According to USA Pickleball and leading instructors, most improvements come from positioning and shot selection, not power. Once that clicks, the game slows down. You anticipate better. You stop forcing points. You start staying in them.
A Special Package to Get You In a Pickle (in a good way)
Our Rally + Restore Pickleball Package allows for you to give your game a kick start (and kick back afterward). Whether you have never played before or really want to elevate your soft game skills, this package helps you find your rhythm. You play, refine, apply it in open play, and then step away from the court entirely to reward your efforts with a little pampering.
“Most players don’t need more time on the court. They need small adjustments. That’s usually all it takes to change the way the game feels entirely.” Todd Zukowski – Pickleball Pro, Ocean Edge {approve quote}
The Kitchen, the Third Shot, and the Part of Pickleball Everyone Gets Wrong
Pickleball has a reputation problem. From the outside, it looks like a simplified version of tennis, only on a smaller court, slower ball, something you pick up casually and play without much thought.
Meet Our New GM, Kyung Lee
At Ocean Edge, we’ve always believed hospitality should feel personal. Warm. Relaxed. With tons of character, but quietly humble in the best way possible.
