Coach Bruce is an outstanding mentor, trainer, and friend. He has been a steadfast coach for the Ko’Olina Pickleball Club over the past year, elevating all players to the next level in their pickleball journey. Bruce has personally assisted me and my pickleball partners in successfully preparing for multiple tournaments, both here in Hawaii and internationally, of which we have podiumed on numerous occasions. If you want to take your pickleball game to the next level, seek out Coach Bruce for some training.

I was visiting Hawaii on business and decided to take some pickleball lessons in my downtime. I saw a review about Coach Bruce and decided to give him a call. After speaking with him and answering some of his questions I felt right at ease. I decided to purchase a package of lessons from him and he exceeded my expectations. Everyone session was fun, motivating, and full of "aha" moments. If you want fast improvement and a coach who truly cares, book a lesson with Coach Bruce! He'll get you right!

Coach Bruce goes over and above to plan and teach his drills (often giving an additional 15 minutes of instruction- no additional charge) Besides having a wonderful positive personality- his ability to assess my skills and clearly instruct changes - was very effective. Finally his post lesson debriefing and “take aways “ was helpful

Bruce is an outstanding coach and trainer. His drills are both engaging and effective, and he consistently brings a fantastic level of energy to every group session, regardless of the players' skill level. He has been instrumental in preparing us for tournaments, and his valuable network of players across Oahu is a real asset!
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI start off learning a little about the Athlete & then we start. I coach Equipment, set-up like grip, stance & paddle face awareness. Next, I cover basic rules, scoring, & court positioning. Naturally from there, I also coach on ready position & proper athletic outside. The last 30 minutes, we focus on controlled forehand & backhand ground strokes, dinking with soft hands & simple serve mechanics. I don’t talk a lot. I give a short explanation with demonstration, high repetitions by the beginner with feedback. I have them focus on consistency & NOT power. By the end of lesson 1, the beginner athlete will understand how pickleball works, rally cooperatively, serve legally & keep the ball in play & feel comfortable stepping on the court without anxiety.
