"Wow, Patti's lesson was quite helpful. Dex really stood out as the best part. Though I’ve played before, this lesson highlighted some details I hadn’t considered, and I feel quite a bit more confident now. Still, I look forward to future lessons to sharpen my overall strategy with Patti.

"Kylee is a sweetheart and a very good coach.

"Chris is an awesome pickleball coach. He keeps things light and fun while still helping you improve fast. I liked that he tailored the lesson to exactly what I wanted to work on, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. His advice on serves and returns helped me add way more control. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to clean up your fundamentals, you’ll get a ton out of working with him.
With a 30 year tennis playing and coaching career, culminating with a top 40 national ranking and playing D1 at the #1 spot, Andrew was convinced to try pickleball on a whim 4 years ago. He was instantly hooked and immediately began a pursuit of competition and knowledge that took him across the country. He loves every minute of playing and teaching, and the most rewarding part is seeing his students put lessons, tips, and tricks into their gameplay. He competes in tournaments when he can fit them into his busy schedule raising 3 kids with their own athletic aspirations. He is Selkirk/PCI certified and plays at the 5.0+ level.
"My kids wanted to play more pickleball and take lessons, so I found Andrew. He's a dad as well and is so great with my kids. All 3 of them take lessons now and have so much more fun than they were before taking lessons. They are voluntarily getting off their tablets and going outside to play PB! Huge win! Thank you Andrew!

"Very patient with my high energy daughter 🧒
I’ve been an avid pickleball player for over 5 years, competing almost daily at local courts or my indoor club. As a 4.0+ rated player, I’ve won or placed in several local tournaments and truly love the sport. My passion drives me to help others discover and enjoy pickleball as much as I do. Reach out for lessons—I’m confident you won’t be disappointed!
"Brent was a great coach; teaching and patient. He has a keen eye for seeing where you, working up from there with drills, and helping with game situation tips. Super beneficial.
Not your average pickleball coach; I take this sport either way too seriously or make jokes about every aspect of its silliness. I take people with zero experience to learn the basics the best way possible as well as the tournament veteran looking to add the next step on their journey to success. My resume has plenty of [2.5->3.5] and [4.0->4.5] stories, with eye witness accounts and hundreds of 5 star reviews you are sure to have a blast learning pickleball with me. Let's ace your skills together! Join my coaching sessions now.
"My 10 YO loved his lesson with Spencer. He is excited to continue to learn form, technique, and rules of the game!
I came from a sports and athletic background. I played football, basketball, and baseball as a kid. I also played college tennis and college basketball. 6 years ago, I picked up pickleball paddle, and everything changed. I played in my first senior pro event after only playing for 6 months. I love pickleball and the pickleball community. I have now won cover 75 tournaments from 5.0 to senior pro. I have also achieved silver and bronze on several other tournaments. I get as much satisfaction teaching and helping people get better as I do winning gold in tournaments. I am the head pickleball pro at AAG in Mesa, Arizona. I have been teaching pickleball for the last 5 years. I have taught clinics, private lessons, youth leagues, and private groups. I look for specific things to help clients improve on, depending on your level and tendencies.
