"The lesson was really helpful, especially in refining my dink shots, though I think I could still benefit from more focus on footwork. Rhavie has a calm way of explaining things, which makes even tricky techniques feel manageable. Looking forward to seeing how I improve with more practice.

I’m a 3.8 DUPR player, and what makes me a great coach is that I keep it fun 🤩! If you’re not having fun, you won’t want to play. With me, lessons are fun, safe, and focused on helping you grow—both on and maybe even off the court. I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels, but I specialize in helping new and entry-level players (2.5–3.0) build confidence and fall in love with the game.
"Coach Dennis was awesome! A wealth of knowledge & experience, indeed.

"This lesson was helpful, especially since Jessica took the time to simplify topspin movements which I’d been struggling with. She was very patient as I learned to use it more effectively. I still need work to become more consistent with my shots but I definitely feel more confident about hitting topspin at different areas on the court.

With six years of personal pickleball experience and a Level 1 PPR Pickleball Coaching certification coupled with experience as a junior high school pickleball coach, I offer tailored coaching for all skill levels. My ideal student(s) is one who is looking to "level up" their game. I offer one on one instructions or group of all age and skill levels. I utilize a Titan One ball machine for hitting sessions and also offer video recording of drill sessions with Ai shot analytics using the Swing Vision platform. A very popular program is 3 (or 4) and Me where I either watch and critique your match play in real time or even mix in during play to get advanced game strategies offered and critiqued. Please reach out to discuss options.
