Oh, I’d say Bodie’s lesson really helped me focus on drilling and learning consistency with my shots, and also understanding strategy. Honestly, my game feels a bit sharper now though I still need to master the dinks, flicks, and rolls. It’s encouraging to see progress and I’ll definitely keep working with him. Bodie is a great coach.

Bodies is a really solid coach, honestly. The lesson focused on body positioning and movement, which was quite helpful. Though I still need to work on consistency, I left feeling more confident about my court awareness. Still, more of the same would be great to really solidify the technique. If you’re looking to refine specific skills, Bodie’s a pretty good pick to try out.

Coach Bodie is very positive and works to help you improve your game. Coach Bodie knows each player and what their strength and what areas of your game need improvement. He spends time during your lesson working on both so you become a better player. Coach Bodie taught my child how to volley and place the ball better on the court. It made a huge difference with his game. I would recommend Coach Bodie to anyone. He is such a positive coach and has a great background to help any player improve their tennis game and meet their individual needs. Coach Bodie cares and wants his players to feel successful on the tennis court. His positive coaching style will be helpful to anyone who takes lessons from him.

Tennis can be an intimidating sport with all of the footwork and techniques required and I think coach Bodie has always made me feel like improving was possible through encouragement and training! He helped me succeed in sets and in being a coordinated teammate. Coach Bodie is excellent at explaining the thorough techniques of tennis and radiates positivity! He's extremely supportive and always has the love for the game win or lose!! He is a great coach. There's not very many like him!!

Coach Bodie has a way of encouraging his students in a positive manner while also expressing positive feedback. He does an amazing job at walking through each step and showing what points to hit in order to execute the perfect shot. He connects with his students on a professional level but also making his lessons feel like learning with a good friend. His positivity and good feedback lead to success. Coach Bodie helped make my forehand and backhand hits a lot more powerful. With this improvement I was noticing an improvement on win percentage. Bodie creates a positive environment that makes learning enjoyable. Improvement comes quick with Bodie as your coach. Bodie is truly the best!

How it works
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonMy first priority is always to put a new student at ease. I'll begin by introducing myself, then asking a few questions about their goals, athletic background, and any prior experience with Pickleball. Once they're comfortable, we'll do a short warm-up and then jump right into some light rallying so I can observe their movement, timing, and overall skill level. From there, I'll introduce the foundational shots every player needs, using a mix of drills and mini-games to keep things fun and engaging. Each lesson ends with clear "homework" to practice before the next session. Above all, my goal is to connect with the student, make learning fun, and set a strong foundation for their Pickleball journey.
Lesson 11+Once the fundamentals are established, lessons 11 and beyond will shift toward refining technique, learning advanced shots, and improving strategy through live match play. We'll focus on shot selection, anticipation, court positioning, and communication with partners. Every session will include tailored coaching to address individual strengths and weaknesses, plus more structured game play to simulate real match situations. At this point, the student is not just learning _how_ to play Pickleball--they're learning how to play it well, with a clear plan for continual growth, enjoyment, and long-term improvement.
Lesson 4-10As students gain confidence, lessons 4 through 10 will focus on sharpening their core skills and introducing more advanced strategies in manageable steps. We'll build consistency in serves, returns, dinks, and volleys, while layering in important concepts like the third shot, moving together as a team, and controlling the pace of play. Each lesson will blend focused drills with real-game scenarios so students can immediately apply what they learn. By the end of this stage, students will not only understand the flow of a Pickleball game, but also begin developing their own style of play, with the confidence to hold their own in casual games and friendly competition.
Lesson 2-3In the second and third lessons, we'll continue building the fundamentals of the game while keeping the focus on fun. Here, I'll introduce the basic strokes--serve, return, dink, and volley--and begin showing how to keep score and where to stand on the court. We'll move at a very simple pace, using repetition, drills, and guided play to help the student feel the natural rhythm of a real game. Since Pickleball scoring and positioning can be confusing at first, these lessons are all about giving the student confidence to rally, play short games, and start feeling like they belong on the court.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, the emphasis is on keeping the lessons active, playful, and easy to understand. I simplify the rules, shorten the games, and use fun drills that feel like challenges rather than technical practice. The focus is less on perfect form and more on developing hand-eye coordination, learning the basic strokes, and building excitement for the game. By celebrating small wins and keeping the pace upbeat, kids stay engaged while naturally picking up the fundamentals of Pickleball.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I adapt the lessons to balance fun with skill-building at a slightly faster pace. Teens often enjoy competition, so I introduce more game-based drills and encourage friendly match play as soon as possible. While fundamentals are still central, I also emphasize strategy, teamwork, and confidence so they can feel successful playing with peers and adults. The goal is to challenge them enough to stay motivated while making sure the learning environment remains positive, supportive, and fun.
