"The lesson with Wayne focused on dinking and volley practice, which I found quite helpful. I still need to learn how to anticipate pace and spin better but I’m improving due to Wayne’s insights. I highly recommend Wayne if you want to sharpen your pickleball skills.

I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.
"Thank you for being patient with me today

"Shannon, Hope you are doing well. Pat told me you were looking to see the tennis review again from last year. These are all the reviews we received for the tennis program in 2025. April 8 - 10/10 My child attends the Weds. evening Tennis Lessons at the Chesapeake Swim & Racquet Club. The coaches are very nice and encouraging. I'm very grateful for that. If I could express one thing to change it would be to please stop separating the children by ability. At their age they all need the drills. Thank you! April 9 - 10/10 i9 is a great welcoming environment that supports the interests and development of many young athletes! May 14 - 10/10 We are participating in i9 Tennis.
