"Max was able to provide a well rounded overview of pickle ball in our hour session. I believe I could walk into an open game and not embarrass myself too bad. However, I plan to continue lessons with Max. I would prefer having some more lessons before I go out on my own, His enjoyment of the game is contagious and he’s a great instructor .

"Kruz broke down the swing into simple terms and feels that made it easy to progress in a single session! Worked out some feels with the longer clubs that translated to better shots overall. 10/10 would recommend!

My philosophy is simple: every golfer deserves a clear starting point. Rather than chasing swing tips, I help players identify the root causes holding them back and build a structured plan that leads to measurable improvement. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build a solid foundation, a competitive player trying to lower your handicap, or someone who’s simply stuck and unsure what to work on next, my goal is to give you clarity, confidence, and a proven path forward.
"I FINALLY BROKE 75. Before working with Coach Phil and SQUARE1 Golf, I was stuck. My QuickScore assessment showed an SPI of 78, and while I wanted to break 80 regularly, I wasn't sure exactly what was holding me back. The SQUARE1 system gave me a clear roadmap. Instead of randomly practicing, every session had a purpose. The RESET and PLAY programs helped me improve my course management, tighten my distance control, and develop confidence under pressure. Most importantly, I learned how to transfer my practice to the golf course. Over the next few months, my SPI improved significantly, my scoring became more consistent, and I finally achieved a goal I had been chasing for years-1 broke 75. The difference wasn't one swing tip or one lesson. It was having a complete development plan that connected my swing, short game, practice habits, and on-course decision making. If you're serious about lowering your scores, I highly recommend SQUARE1 Golf. Coach Phil doesn't just teach golf swings-he builds golfers. The SPI system gave me measurable progress, and the PLAY program taught me how to perform when it mattered. Breaking 75 was a milestone I'll never forget, and SQUARE1 played a huge role in helping me get there. - CHRISTOPHER SAUCEDA SQUARE1 PLAY PROGRAM GRADUATE

I can help you learn how to hit slices, topspin, volleys, lobs, how to generate power with serves. I played tennis for around 14 years with 3 medals, one in middle school, 2 in high school. I’ve been playing pickleball for just over a year but I won my first tournament in the 3.0 bracket. I’ve had many people come to me for advice. I look forward to training you.
Steven
Volleyball has been part of my life since I was young, from competing in club and high school to coaching at every level — middle school, club, high school, and spending time with the Mizzou Volleyball program as both a Marketing Assistant and Graduate Assistant. The court is where I've always felt most like myself.
Marissa
With a lifelong love for volleyball, I'm dedicated to helping athletes of all levels excel. I have played volleyball throughout high school and college. My mom and I do private volleyball lessons in southeast MO, but I just moved up here and would love to continue giving private lessons. I offer personalized coaching to refine skills and boost confidence on the court. I specialize in hitting and setting, but can also coach passing! Let's elevate your game!
Anna
Hi, I’m Travis! I discovered pickleball about a year ago and quickly fell in love with the game. Since then, I’ve dedicated hours to improving my skills through competitive play, tournaments, and studying strategy. Before pickleball, I played soccer, which taught me the importance of footwork, court awareness, teamwork, and strategy—skills that have translated directly to pickleball. I look forward to helping you reach your pickleball goals. Let’s get on the court and have some fun!
