"I learned a lot in only one lesson
With 7 years of coaching experience and having competed competitively, I offer tailored pickleball instruction. My approach blends strategic insights with a fun learning environment to help you achieve your goals on the court.
"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.
I'm a dedicated pickleball enthusiast with a 4.0 player rating, and I play the game four times a week. My commitment to the sport is evident in my skill and competitive spirit. My passion for pickleball shines through every match, making me a formidable opponent on the court.
"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. Lots of practical techniques taken away and I left feeling more motivated to play. Highly recommend Nick to all!

"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.
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.

"Fantastic and pleasant teacher. Patient. Knowledgeable. Adapts to your level
I've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won. My playing philosophy centers around strong defense, consistency, and capitalizing on your opponents’ mistakes. I’m also a big advocate of recording your own games. Watching your play back is one of the fastest ways to identify patterns, correct mistakes, and make meaningful progress. If you’re ready to build a smarter, more consistent game, I’d love to work with you.
"Grant was a kind and patient coach! I walked away with multiple tangible takeaways and was a better player in an hour! I highly recommend Grant!
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. 5 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 30 tournaments from 4.0 to 4.5 to 5.0. 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 3 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.
