"Second lesson..John continues to be patient with questions and did some drills that helped..and made it fun!

Hey! I’m a huge fan of pickleball and having fun, no matter who I’m around. I’m looking forward to helping you learn the ropes and advance your game strategy and strokes. I hope to participate in 4.5 tournaments soon. I play in tournaments competitively and love helping the locals improve their game.

"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.
