"Oh, I’d say Matt’s lesson was quite helpful. He was easy to follow and very patient, especially with my young daughter who's new to sports. Still, I think having a bit more time to learn the basics could make a difference. But honestly, I’m looking forward to working with him more because his knowledge really shows. If you're into pickleball and want someone who’s approachable yet knowledgeable, you might consider giving Matt a try.

"Hey, I gotta say, Jamie's lessons are quite helpful, especially since he's very good at explaining things clearly. Though I think I could still get better at some aspects of my game, he's definitely someone to consider if you're looking to improve. There's a lot of value in the way he breaks down techniques, and I think with more lessons, I'll see even more progress. Still, I appreciate the straightforward coaching style and look forward to continuing with him.

"I would recommend John 11/10 times. He did more than fix my swing, he taught me the game on a whole new level. I came to John with a decent amount of experience and ability to hit the ball straight but inconsistently. John changed that inconsistency with very few of my shots being “bad” shots now. When I say John is a wonderful, interactive and talented coach I mean it. He made the game fun again for me instead of frustrating. I recommend him fully!
