What students say...

"The lesson was quite helpful in highlighting some specific footwork issues I hadn't noticed before, though I think a bit more focus on shot consistency could be beneficial. Craig's approach feels steady and realistic, which I appreciate. Still, I’m hopeful that future lessons might cover more about controlling placement, looking forward to trying another session with him.

About Wayne

I was introduced to pickleball two years ago and have been a fan and student of the game ever since. I enjoy sharing the finer points nuances of the game and seeing my students making progress in their pickleball journey. I usually play a minimum of five days a week for at least three hours per day. Occasionally I will play both in the morning and again in the evening. I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor for adults and a PPR Certified Youth Pickleball Development Coach for intermediate and high schoolers.

What students say...

"The lesson with Wayne focused on dinking and volley practice, which I found quite helpful. I still need to learn how to anticipate pace and spin better but I’m improving due to Wayne’s insights. I highly recommend Wayne if you want to sharpen your pickleball skills.
