“Worked with my partner and I in slowly and safely getting to the kitchen line together while serving”Tracy W., studentAbout AdamI 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.Go to profile96GreatTop rated

About DanielI’m Dan Haynes, an IPTPA-certified coach and founder of Next Point Pickleball. For two years I’ve helped players of all levels improve.
My approach is simple: I work with what you’ve got. Instead of overhauling your mechanics, I build on the skills you already have: smarter shot selection, better positioning, and knowing when to attack and when to reset. Changes you can use in your next game.
New or moving up a level, my lessons are practical and strategy-focused, so you see fast results.Go to profileBest price

“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.”Pj G., student
About RianHi, 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.Go to profile92GreatTop rated
