"Richard's first lesson was quite thorough, and I appreciated how he balanced covering all the rules with actually playing the ball around, which kept things engaging. Though, I think with a bit more movement and smoother hits, it could become even more effective. Still, it was a good experience and I’d consider trying Richard again for his knowledge and enthusiasm.

"The lesson with Daryl focused quite a bit on shooting drills, which really helped me refine my technique. Though reviewing what I’m working on can sometimes feel repetitive, I still appreciated the emphasis on solid fundamentals. Still, I think going over progress more frequently might make the lessons even more effective. But yeah, I’d say try Daryl if you want structured training that pays attention to detail.
