““Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.””Vikki F., student · shared by Justin

“I brought my whole family out for a pickleball day with Sydney, and it could not have been a better experience. She kept the kids engaged, made sure the adults were learning at our own pace, and somehow balanced fun with real instruction the entire time. By the end of the lesson, we were all laughing, rallying, and already planning our next family pickleball outing.”Angelina R., parent · shared by Sydney

I highly recommend him, he doesn’t claim to be the best player in the world, but rather knows the game extremely well and obviously, he plays well too He works with your gay IQ, which I have come to learn is more important than your actual skills or athleticism and is why you see so many older people crushing some of the younger people even though they’re not that’s the same athletic level.”Taylor, student · shared by Chris
