"My husband and I had a great lesson with Russ! We are long-time tennis players and he had lots of good tips on how to transition to pickleball. He also has a wicked serve!! We are already looking forward to our next lesson!

PPR certified pickleball coach. 4.0 player with several competitive Gold Medals. Teaching beginners and intermediate players for 3+ years now. Ages teen thru senior. Priority one is that my students always have fun while learning.
"Ed was quite helpful, especially with my net game, emphasizing paddle control and passing on helpful tips like holding my ground and hitting down on lobs. Still, more practice on dinking and unattackable serves would be great, though I left feeling more confident. If you're interested in sharpening specific skills, Ed's a solid choice to try out.
