A pleasant lesson with Connor, and his clear explanations really helped me grasp the basics. The highlight about his thorough teaching shone through, so I’m eager for more practice and growth.

Connor was great and generous with his time and instructions. He gave me good verbal cues to maintain the proper technique to improve my game.

The lesson with Connor was quite helpful, especially since he focused on drill-based practice that really made me think about my positioning on court. Although I still have some issues with particular shots, I feel more aware of my tendencies now. I hope to continue building on this foundation and see more improvement soon, so I’d suggest trying Connor if you want a straightforward, measured approach to your pickleball skills.

Wow!!! Connor was simply amazing. He was able to diagnose and remedy my issues with what I thought was my quickness at the net. He really understands the mechanics of pickleball and by the end of the lesson I was doing things I didn’t think I could do. Most helpful lesson ever! Thanks, Connor!!

Honestly, Connor's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my shot placement and footwork. The focus on specific techniques really made a difference, and I feel more confident approaching the net now. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on strategy would be great next time. I'd be interested in trying another lesson soon.

I've taken several pickleball lessons with Connor and have found them to be both fun and highly helpful. Connor is a real student of pickleball and really observes every aspect of his student's game. He is also very creative in finding drills specific to his student's issues. I would highly recommend him!

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonThe first lesson is often the most informative and we will get a solid grasp of your skill level, fitness, strengths and weaknesses as well as just getting to know one another as the personal aspect is often the most important.

Lesson 11+Once students have all the necessary shots and not only an ability to play but an understanding of how to play we can move on to the minutia of what students are interested both in terms of shots and theory. Students often are interested in learning how to hit a roll vs flick or an off-speed speedup with disguise. Students also frequently choose to work on entirely new shots like changing from a one handed to a two handed backhand drive or a scorpion counter. From here the options are limitless and only directed by what I think would be useful skills for their play style and their personal interest to pursue those or other skills.

Lesson 4-10Once all the basics are squared away I truly believe in self direction from students. People often excel only at what they want to which is why interest from the student is critical to whatever aspect of the game they are working on. The most common choices for students are thirds, including both drops and drives, dinking, reseting in the mid court, and handling pace off of opponents drives and speed ups. Students at this point are also introduced to more complex theory on court positioning, shot selection, shading, ready position, and exploiting weaknesses.

Lesson 2-3The second and third lessons are often best used to address foundational aspects of play that, without doing properly, can stop you from progressing further. The common issues I find that can be fixed easily are the grip, basic court positioning, mentality, and understandings of basic strategy.

About your pickleball coach

My name’s Connor, and I’m a 20-year-old pickleball enthusiast with a 5.0 rating sponsored by Neonic Pickleball. I dove into pickleball just two years ago, despite having no prior experience with racket sports. Before that, I played nearly every sport imaginable, primarily shining as a national-level hockey goalie. I take pride in my understanding of body mechanics, which helps me break down complex movements; for instance, I often liken the weight transfer in a serve to skipping a stone and a backhand flick to throwing a frisbee.
