"Allen was excellent. I took my 11 year old and provided Allen with some notes and he did a good evaluation. He comes planned and takes time to setup the field well for the different drills. The drills are a good repetition of what the player can take it to their game. My son has enjoyed his time training with Allen.

With a 30 year tennis playing and coaching career, culminating with a top 40 national ranking and playing D1 at the #1 spot, Andrew was convinced to try pickleball on a whim 4 years ago. He was instantly hooked and immediately began a pursuit of competition and knowledge that took him across the country. He loves every minute of playing and teaching, and the most rewarding part is seeing his students put lessons, tips, and tricks into their gameplay. He competes in tournaments when he can fit them into his busy schedule raising 3 kids with their own athletic aspirations. He is Selkirk/PCI certified and plays at the 5.0+ level.
"My kids wanted to play more pickleball and take lessons, so I found Andrew. He's a dad as well and is so great with my kids. All 3 of them take lessons now and have so much more fun than they were before taking lessons. They are voluntarily getting off their tablets and going outside to play PB! Huge win! Thank you Andrew!

I have an associate degree in Golf Course Management and a Masters in Public Administration. I worked on cruise lines like the Caribbean, Carnival Cruises, etc, for 10 years as a Golf Professional. The cruises were in Europe, the Caribbean, the US, and Hawaii. I taught lessons on sea days, set up tee times in port, and played with passengers. After the cruise lines, I worked at golf courses, mainly teaching. I enjoy teaching beginners to advanced players. I will accommodate individuals if they are more comfortable learning in groups. I'm experienced in using the V1 system for video analysis of the swing.
"I brought my 12 year old son for a lesson. Nicholas was extremely accommodating, he was more than happy to let me watch.

Reach out for lessons—I’m confident you won’t be disappointed!

Hi, I’m Rian Weston-Dodds, I’ve been playing for 6 years now coaching for about 3. I have a 5.0 DUPR rating and have coached at various locations across the valley including Picklemall, Life Time, the Picklr, and many public and private courts. PPR certified. I specialize in helping intermediate players improve with strategy and technique, but can also help beginner players get a handle on the game. I look forward to working with you on the court! At the moment, the Mountainside Fitness on Frank Lloyd Wright is the easiest way to get a an indoor court during the summer, free for members and only $10 for non members. It is on a basketball court but it works fine for practice. Otherwise, The Orchard Indoor Pickleball Private Event Venue by Talking Stick resort is also a good option for a rentable, authentic indoor court. But it does cost $40 for an hour. Outdoors, public parks are usually not busy midday. But the Oasis Community Church has outdoor courts for rent and they only ask for 10% of the lesson fee. If you have your own private, court let me know.
"Rian is a fantastic coach who offers clear and practical advice during our pickleball lessons. I enjoyed how he adjusts strategies on the spot to help improve the game. His guidance really helped me play better and feel more confident on the court. If you want to develop your skills in a supportive way, Rian’s lessons are definitely worth trying.

I’m a TrackMan-certified coach and former D1 standout with over 200 lessons under my belt. I’ve won at every level: 3 pro wins, 5 college titles at GCU, and a U.S. Amateur berth. My coaching combines proven strategies with modern technology to help players develop a repeatable, athletic swing.
"Before this, I’d just hit balls and hope for the best. One lesson in, I understood my mistake, why it happened, and how to fix it. Terence broke down my swing in simple terms, gave me drills I could actually do at the range, and helped me see progress fast. I’m already booked for another lesson.
