“AJ is a very good and patient teacher! I’ve never played pickleball before and he made it very easy to understand! After just a few lessons, I was able to gain a good grasp of the rules, scoring strategies one may use when playing! We became close friends and joined a pickleball league, which we won after only a few months of me playing! I recommend AJ to anyone who is starting out and needs an encouraging instructor to help facilitate their growth! I now love pickleball and have a lot of confidence in my game!”Tim, student · shared by Aj
