Kuzy Coaching, managed by Daniel Kouznetsov; a qualified pickleball instructor and professional player, is a service offering quality and high performance pickleball lessons, clinics, and consulting. Dan, a former professional tennis player, began his tennis coaching career 5 years ago. He quickly found a talent and passion in teaching players of all ages and levels the art of the sport, and his client’s results showed. Daniel since has run multiple tennis clubs and academies in Melbourne.

In early 2023, Dan was introduced to the exploding sport of pickleball, where his professional tennis skills quickly translated into pickleball. Having dedicated his time into pickleball, Dan rose up the rankings, collecting multiple singles, doubles, and mixed titles across Australia. He represented Victoria in the Battle of the Border state championships and was a player on Melbourne Mavericks, a MLPA professional team. Daniel rapidly became Victoria’s top pickleball player, and a very competitive top player across Australia.

While still competing professionally, Daniel wanted to bring his talent and passion from his tennis coaching days into pickleball to help grow the sport in Australia. Thus, Kuzy Coaching was born! Daniel offers private lessons, group classes, and high performance clinics at many pickleball centres around Australia. With his experience and knowledge, he also offers consulting to many who are interested in opening their own pickleball centre or would like to run pickleball programs.

Dan believes that pickleball is still in its early grassroots level, and has a long growth trajectory ahead. With the help of Dan, Kuzy Coaching is here to help make sure pickleball is on the correct trajectory in Australia over the next few decades.
