Keaten grew up playing competitive tennis in Wisconsin and during his high school years began coaching younger players through the local Parks Department. He still draws from these experiences to instruct pickleball players in fundamental aspects of paddle sports like footwork and body mechanics. Upon discovering pickleball much more recently, Keaten was immediately entranced by the various rhythms within dynamic pickleball rallies and worked to coax them out of the typical chaos of open play games. Once sure he could teach others to do the same, Keaten became a certified Professional Coach and has been coaching and playing pickleball full-time since early 2024. As a player, Keaten is rated above 5.5 and routinely trains to develop his own game, primarily through 1-on-1 drill sessions of his own creation. Keaten enjoys seeing how his training helps him in competition and is encouraged by some of his recent results which include winning the Colorado Champions cup (2x), MiLP State Championships, Rocky Mountain Championships, MiLP V3 National Championships, medaling at MiLP Nationals, and qualifying multiple times for and participating in PPA Pro tournaments. Keaten feels competing at the highest level allows him to stay at the forefront of pickleball strategy and skill which he can bring back to those he instructs.

As an IPTPA Level II Pickleball Instructor, Caroline also leads the popular and successful CardioPickle classes at Boulder Pickleball and facilitates a learning experience to keep you engaged and enthusiastic for this highly addictive and strategic game!

Almost a Colorado native, Ann grew up here teaching and playing tennis, eventually playing Division 1 tennis at Colorado State. She dabbled in multiple sports while raising her three amazing kids. She found pickleball three years ago and hasn't looked back. The sport has given her a freedom to work hard, play hard, and live her best life connecting with the vibrant Colorado pickleball community. This year, Ann expanded her play nationally when she began playing as a senior pro in the National Pickleball League. She was drafted by the Denver Iconics with whom she travels to compete against some of the best 50+ players in the country. She hopes her passion for the sport and her desire to share it with players of all levels will be self-evident in her new role here at 3rd Shot.

Scott grew up playing multiple sports. His primary focus was soccer and running. Then, just running. He has spent the last 25 years racing around the world at distances from 5K to 100 Miles. In August of 2022, Scott thought a new activity might break up the monotony of long distance running…pickleball. Not only did he love to play the game, but he loved the social aspect of the sport. Since entering his first tournament in September of 2022 and winning a medal, Scott has played in leagues and tournaments across the Front Range. Developing a true passion for the game, Scott decided the best way to share was to learn to teach. In May of 2023 Scott was certified through Professional Pickleball Registry. He continues to develop his game and his teaching method. Scott believes in meeting students where they are…being realistic…having fun. He focuses on the student. Scott will customize the lesson to develop the student's skill and confidence to get to the next level. Scott continues to race around the world and play as much pickleball as possible. He is also a certified yoga instructor and running coach.

Abby Glasrud grew up in a “tennis family” and played the sport for many years in addition to being a competitive figure skater and nordic skiier. She learned to play pickleball from her parents over a decade ago, but didn't start playing regularly until 2022 as a means to get out of the house and be active, having worked from a home office for nearly 20 years. She now plays pickleball competitively and enjoys participating in tournaments, earning a growing collection of medals. Abby started teaching pickleball in late 2023 to share her love for the sport, and became PPR-certified in April 2024 immediately after retiring from her corporate career in Marketing & Communications. Abby's teaching philosophy focuses on showing proper technique to avoid injuries and ensuring that people with lower mobility can enjoy the sport as much as more athletic players. Her greatest joy as an instructor is seeing her students light up with each success and sharing in their enthusiasm as new players realize just how fun pickleball is.




John is an IPTPA-certified pickleball coach and Teaching Pro with a strong tennis background and a lifelong love of racquet sports. After retiring from a 35-year career in the automotive and tech industries, where he held various engineering and management roles, he turned his attention to pickleball and hasn't looked back. John has been teaching pickleball at the Lafayette Rec Center for the past year and brings a deep passion for coaching to the court. He has also coached youth teams in baseball, basketball, flag football, and soccer, making his approach both well-rounded and approachable for players of all levels. He loves pickleball for its mix of exercise, competition, and social connection. You'll often find him in Gold Open play, small group mixers, and both doubles and singles matches. A fan of slice and topspin shots, he proudly earned a silver medal in his first pickleball tournament in December 2024. Known for being a bit forgetful with names (expect a name tag in class!), John brings humor, energy, and enthusiasm to every session. Off the court, he gives back to the community by hosting bike, skateboard, and ukulele build events through the Longmont-based nonprofit Can'd Aid.
