I tailor each lesson to what you want to accomplish, whether that means technical instruction, ball-feeding and drills, strategy and point play, or simply having an elite player to hit and play games with, and offering coaching along the way. I have access to a private pickleball court at a residence in the Forest Hills / Green Hills neighborhood making lessons easy, convenient, and completely private. I’m also happy to come to you or meet at one of the many public courts I regularly use throughout the Greater Nashville / Brentwood / Franklin areas.
"I’m brand new to Pickleball and learned the basics today with Jamie, and I had so much fun! Jamie has a beautiful Pickleball court at a private residence near me in the Green Hills neighborhood which made the whole experience easy, private, and relaxing! I’m excited about playing more socially, and getting a whole body workout from this! I’ve already booked my next lesson with Jamie and of course I highly recommend her!!
