Erik offers both. Online coaching sessions are conducted live via video call and are available to players anywhere in the country. In-person lessons are available in the New York area. When you submit your request, just let Erik know which format you prefer and your location.

Erik works with players of all levels - from beginners picking up a paddle for the first time to competitive 4.5+ players preparing for tournaments. Sessions are fully tailored to where you are right now and where you want to go. No matter your level, you'll leave with something concrete to work on.

Sessions are available in 60-minute and 90-minute formats. Both private (1-on-1) and small group sessions are available. Erik's base rate starts at $150/hour - the final rate depends on the number of participants. Contact Erik directly for a group quote.

Bring your paddle, court shoes, water, and any questions you want answered. If you have specific shots or situations you struggle with, jot them down beforehand - the more context Erik has going in, the more targeted your session will be. For online sessions, just have a stable internet connection and enough space to demonstrate shots.

After purchasing a video analysis ($100 per 30 minutes of footage), you'll receive an email with upload instructions. You can share your footage via Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube (unlisted), or any file sharing link. Include any specific questions you want Erik to focus on - strategy, shot patterns, positioning, or a particular situation that keeps coming up in your matches.

For the most useful analysis, record from behind the baseline using a phone or tripod. Make sure the entire court is visible, including both teams during the rally. Try to capture at least one full game - longer is better. Avoid recording from the side or at court level, as this makes it difficult to see positioning and shot patterns clearly.

You'll receive a written breakdown covering: key patterns Erik noticed in your play, specific positioning and strategy decisions, shot selection feedback, and a personalized list of drills and focuses to work on. It's practical, specific feedback - not generic advice you could find anywhere.

Erik aims to return all video analyses within 5–7 business days of receiving your footage. If you're preparing for an upcoming tournament and need it sooner, reach out directly - Erik will do his best to accommodate a faster turnaround.

The Road to 5.0 Series is built for advanced players - typically 4.0 and above - who want to push their game to the next level with elite instruction. If you're preparing for competitive tournaments, trying to improve your DUPR rating, or just want serious coaching in a small group setting, this program is for you.

The program includes 4 sessions over 4 weeks, each 2 hours long - totaling 8 hours of instruction. Groups are capped at 4 players maximum (1:4 ratio) so you get real coaching attention. All sessions are recorded for your review. Topics covered include advanced kitchen strategies, attacks at the kitchen, defensive skills from all areas of the court, and advanced 3rd & 5th shot decision making.

Call or text Erik at 631-456-0992 to check availability and reserve your spot. Spots are limited to 4 players per group, so availability fills quickly. Erik will confirm your session dates and handle payment directly.

After Erik confirms your session, he'll send a secure payment link. Payment is processed via Stripe - you can pay by credit card, debit card, or Apple/Google Pay. Payment is due to confirm your booking. For the Road to 5.0 program, payment arrangements can be discussed directly with Erik.

Life happens - Erik gets it. Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with 24+ hours notice can be rescheduled at no charge. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a partial session fee. If Erik ever needs to reschedule, you'll always be offered a full refund or a rescheduled session at no extra cost.
