Real Coaching for Real People

Our Story

Universal Rackets was founded in the Philadelphia suburbs on a simple belief: great coaching is measured by how quickly people improve and how much they enjoy getting there. That approach earned us recognition from Philadelphia Magazine as one of the Best Places to Learn Tennis, and it has carried us to more than forty-five locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, and Florida, in partnership with townships, HOAs, country clubs, and recreation centers.

Our Founder

Universal Rackets is led by founder Tyler Stroyek, a former Division I player and USPTA-certified professional. Tyler has also become one of the most-followed pickleball coaches in the world, with an online community of more than one hundred thousand players who rely on his instruction. That combination of professional credentials and a proven ability to make the game accessible sets the standard for every coach on our team.

What Makes Us Different

Universal Rackets is a professional programming company, not a collection of independent coaches. Our partners receive vetted, trained coaches, clear communication, and dependable customer service, season after season. We focus deliberately on beginner and intermediate players, because that is where most of a community plays and where great coaching makes the biggest difference.

Our Promise

Show up, have fun, and get better. We bring the coaching, the energy, and the equipment, and we deliver a program your community can be proud of.
