World Class Curriculum

8:1 Student/Teacher Ratio

IPTPA/PPR Certified Pros

Kyle was introduced to pickleball by his former high school tennis coach, who told him to forget tennis and try something new. That one invitation turned into a lifelong passion. Since then, Kyle has notched wins over some of the sport’s best—including Riley Newman, Jay Devilliers, and James Ignatowich—and holds DUPR ratings of 6.150 (doubles) and 6.385 (singles).

Kyle met Tyson in 2016 after moving to Spokane, and the two quickly began training together. From instructional videos to serving as Tyson’s personal coach in 2024, Kyle has been an integral part of Tyson’s journey—and vice versa.

As a coach, Kyle is analytical and thorough, helping players not just improve, but truly understand their own strengths and style. Above all, he values the people he meets while traveling the country with Tyson McGuffin Camps.
