I grew up playing tennis and enjoyed it, but my passion truly ignited when I moved to Arvada as an adult. Basketball had been my primary interest, but after two torn ACLs, I shifted towards tennis. Progressing to a 4.0 level, I aimed to become the best player I could be. However, another voice suggested coaching. I heeded that intuition and founded Tim’s Tennis Time in 2021, which has exceeded my dreams. I believe in certifications, recently achieving PTR Level 2, and I emphasize teaching skills through targeted lessons and footwork. My goals are to help players improve, whether competitively or socially, and support those aspiring to play tennis in college. It won't be easy, but I embrace the challenge and look forward to guiding your tennis journey.

Brett loves to help the sport of Pickleball continue its growth by introducing new players to the game and helping experienced players improve their strategy and skills. As a coach, he encourages players from the very start to start thinking about hitting the smart shot,(playing with purpose) rather than just getting the ball back over the net. Because pickleball is not as physically demanding as many other sports, anyone can play and almost everyone can become good with a little strategy and ball control. Brett played in his first tournament in 2021 and won gold (at the 3.5 level). He continues to play competitively and has won medals at the 4.5 level. He hopes to be able to compete at the senior pro level when he turns 50 in a couple years. Brett lives in Arvada with his wife, daughters and stepson. Pickleball takes up most of his leisure time, but he also enjoys skiing, hiking, reading and singing.

Bio coming soon.

Upon relocating to Colorado in 2022, I played tennis for the first time. The experience left me wanting to play more. I have since taken tennis lessons and continue to play when I have time. Tennis is truly a sport for everyone. It offers not only recreational enjoyment but also constitutes a commendable workout, despite its low-impact nature. I also like the mental acuity and skill development that comes along with playing tennis. Joining Tim's Tennis Time enables me to assist others in enjoying a positive tennis experience. I am excited about the opportunity to continue to build meaningful connections and foster lasting relationships with our valued clients!

Tennis classes in high school and college were the catalyst for Darrin’s obsession with the sport as an adult.  He finds tennis to be enjoyable, challenging, and a great way to keep physically fit.  He has played on multiple teams and in several leagues in the Denver-metro area.  His coaching philosophy is based on the term “hum-bition”, which is the powerful mix of humility and the ambition to succeed…both on the court and in life.  While he loves the sport, he says that it’s the incredible people he meets through tennis that makes it a passion for him.  He chose to join the Tim’s Tennis Time team after observing Tim as a coach, player, business owner and in social settings.  Darrin is excited to be a part of the tennis movement that Tim has created in the community.

Born and raised in Mexico, I moved to Colorado with my family in 2011. I've been playing Badminton for all my life, but I was recently bit by the Pickleball bug, and now I'm hooked. I've only been playing a year, but due to my background in Badminton, I have a unique insight into the fundamentals of footwork and strategy which not all players have. As a coach my main focus is strong fundamentals (serve and return, transition, and kitchen play) as a framework before implementing strategy and reinforcing high percentage shots. As a player, I enjoy Pickleball immensely, and play it almost every day. As a new player, and therefore a new coach, I know that I have a lot to learn. So as I continue my career as both a coach and a player, I know that I have nowhere to go but up. In my life outside of Pickleball, I am an avid enjoyer of videogames and science fiction novels, and have even developed and released a video game during my time in college. 

Keaten has been playing and competing in racquet sports for as long as he can remember and started coaching them only slightly more recently. Since 2009 he has been a teacher in some capacity, on court as a youth tennis instructor and then in the classroom as a TA at CU Boulder. These experiences allowed him to achieve a “Pro” certification rating from PPR, and as a pickleball coach he excels at distilling even the most technical elements of the game into easily digestible morsels of contextualized instruction. He also finds that students do not acquire new skills through discussion or basic drilling alone! Instead, he focuses his lessons on simulated gameplay designed to maximize fun and the occurrences of a developing skill without the crutch of routine. As a pickleball player, Keaten has medaled in 5.0+ tournaments and endeavors to compete in pro qualifier events.
