"Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. Sheโ€™s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.

About Prince

I love sports, and my goal is to make pickleball simple, logical, and fun for everyone! My background is a little different than most coaches. I have an engineering background and have spent years as a sports analyst, but I am also a lifelong recreational athlete myself. I know exactly what it feels like to pick up a new sport, work though the awkward phases, and play just for the pure love of the game. Because of my multi-sport coaching and sports media background, I am really good at breaking down movements into simple, easy-to-learn steps. I donโ€™t use confusing sports jargon-I focus on clear, friendly communication so you can see progress in your very first lesson. Beginners & Seniors: Want a gentle, zero-stress introduction? We will focus on fun, steady balance, and learning the rules at your own comfortable pace. Kids & Teens: With my coaching background, I keep lessons high-energy, active, and filled with engaging games. Intermediate Players: Want to win more weekend games? Iโ€™ll show you the smart court positioning and tricks to outsmart your opponents. No matter your age or skill level, my court is a welcoming place. Letโ€™s get out there and play!

Dinking and the soft game

Every age and level, ages 5 to 18
