About GrantI've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won.

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 profile92Great

About TimothyI’m known for my patience and intuition, which helps me tailor lessons precisely to your needs and goals. With experience as a medalist in multiple tournaments, including competing at the 2018 Nationals and earning a silver medal at the 2019 Ruidoso 4.5, I bring a proven track record of success to my teaching.

I also now have a ball machine. This helps maximize our lessons and helps you as the student to develop “muscle memory” of the various strokes in pickleball.
I highly recommend to any student to allow me to teach at the EŌS on 75 th ave and Encanto.
