"Bryan was great at teaching to two different skill levels in the same lesson. He made a new sport very approachable to one, and helped bring a former player back into the groove. He taught at a great pace, and overall made the experience fun and enjoyable.



Beginners are Welcome! If you are a beginner or coming from another racket, or paddle sport, and never played, my lessons are designed to help establish a solid foundation to build on. I began my teaching journey as a volunteer, assisting in community clinics with beginners and mid-level players. My focus is on developing sound fundamentals through the use of drills to provide more confidence when stepping on the court. Either a beginner or you've been playing and want to improve, I truly believe everyone can enjoy the game at any level with sound fundamentals, and a basic understanding of the game. It's a wonderful sport and I'm excited for our first session together! Paddle up! E
"Bill is awesome . I like his coaching style. We got a lot of play time and he taught us here and there during the play or in between the play which made it fun. His instructions were easy to understand and to follow. Highly recommended.
