"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.

"Nick was an amazing coach. I came in with absolutely zero pickleball experience, but he was kind enough to lead me into the pickle ball kingdom :) He explained everything in an understandable way.

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.
Brent
Hi, I’m Rian Weston-Dodds, I’ve been playing for 6 years now coaching for about 3. I have a 5.0 DUPR rating and have coached at various locations across the valley including Picklemall, Life Time, the Picklr, and many public and private courts. PPR certified. I specialize in helping intermediate players improve with strategy and technique, but can also help beginner players get a handle on the game. I look forward to working with you on the court! At the moment, the Mountainside Fitness on Frank Lloyd Wright is the easiest way to get a an indoor court during the summer, free for members and only $10 for non members. It is on a basketball court but it works fine for practice. Otherwise, The Orchard Indoor Pickleball Private Event Venue by Talking Stick resort is also a good option for a rentable, authentic indoor court. But it does cost $40 for an hour. Outdoors, public parks are usually not busy midday. But the Oasis Community Church has outdoor courts for rent and they only ask for 10% of the lesson fee. If you have your own private, court let me know.
"Rian is a fantastic coach who offers clear and practical advice during our pickleball lessons. I enjoyed how he adjusts strategies on the spot to help improve the game. His guidance really helped me play better and feel more confident on the court. If you want to develop your skills in a supportive way, Rian’s lessons are definitely worth trying.
