Hi, Im Arik Chan 🙂
I’ve spent my life on the court—just not always the same one. My journey spans **badminton, squash, table tennis, and tennis**, giving me a unique understanding of how racket sports connect. But these days, my focus is simpler: **helping beginners discover the joy of pickleball in the best possible setting—a 3D2N getaway to Batam.**

### The Story Behind the Getaway
A while back, I met my table tennis coaches in Batam for a weekend to share my little pickleball know how. They’d never played pickleball before. I brought them to the courts, showed them the basics, and something incredible happened.
Within **two days**, they were moving, dinking, and playing like they’d been at it for months.
That trip confirmed what I’d always suspected—if you have racket sport instincts, pickleball comes naturally. But more than that, it showed me the magic of a **getaway format**. Away from the distractions of daily life, with good food, good company, and focused time on court, learning happens faster. And it’s a whole lot more fun.
That’s why I started organizing **3D2N Pickleball Getaways to Batam**.

### What Makes My Getaways Different?
I’m not a big coaching academy. I’m not a certified instructor with a manual. What I am is a **racket sports athlete who understands how to transfer skills**—and a local connector who knows Batam inside out.
I’ve built relationships with:
– **Drivers** who get you where you need to go, hassle-free
– **Hotels** that are clean, comfortable, and close to the action
– **Courts** that are indoor and ready for us
– **Restaurants** serving the best seafood and local food Batam has to offer
When you join one of my getaways, you’re not just getting coaching. You’re getting a **fully coordinated experience** where all you need to do is show up and play.

### My Coaching Approach
I focus **only on beginners**. Whether you’ve never held a paddle or you’ve played a few games and want to build proper fundamentals, this trip is for you.
My background across four racket sports means I can explain pickleball in ways that make sense:
– **From Badminton:** The soft game, net play, and those gentle dinks
– **From Squash:** Quick footwork, angles, and court movement
– **From Table Tennis:** Spin control, wrist work, and touch
– **From Tennis:** Strategy, swing mechanics, and consistency
I break everything down into simple, bite-sized steps. No jargon, no pressure—just clear guidance and plenty of encouragement.

### What a 3D2N Getaway Looks Like
We’ll play, eat, and explore together. A typical trip includes:
– **4 x 2-hour coaching sessions** spread across 3 days
– **Indoor court bookings** (air-conditioned, good surfaces)
– **Private van transport** so we move as a group
– **Meals at local gems** (seafood feasts, hawker food, hidden spots)
– **Free time** to explore, rest, or book a massage
And because I handle the coordination, you don’t need to worry about a thing.

### The Batam Food Promise
Let’s be honest—Batam has some of the best food just a short ferry ride away. From sizzling seafood by the water to hidden local warungs, every trip is a culinary adventure. Good courts, good company, and incredible meals. That’s the promise.
**Family time, court time, Makan time!**

### A Little About Me
When I’m not in Batam, you’ll find me on courts in Singapore, connecting with fellow racket sports enthusiasts, or planning the next trip.
I believe the best way to learn is in good company, with good food, and zero stress. That’s the experience I’ve built, and I’d love to share it with you.
