Craig Lanning
Coach Craig has been playing pickleball for just four years, but his rapid rise in the sport shows his dedication and love for the game. He’s trained under some of the best, including coach Peter Dellaluna (Fort Myers, FL) and pro-level coaches Cam Taylor (Wasaga Beach, ON), Corey Osborne (Midland, ON), and Chase Blocker (Daytona Beach, FL). Craig regularly medals in local tournaments and is well respected within the regional pickleball community.
Before discovering pickleball, Craig spent years coaching volleyball at the Club, Regional, and University levels as a Level II certified coach. That experience helped shape his calm, technical, and encouraging approach to teaching.
Now, Craig combines his passion for coaching with his love of pickleball to help players take their game to the next level. His lessons focus on strong technical foundations, smart strategy, and a positive, focused mindset—all within a supportive and enjoyable learning environment.
Craig is a certified Level 1 instructor with Pickleball Canada.
