Robert
Don has helped my game get to the next level. He helped me work on my short game and tournament strategy. I usually get a refresher before I play in a tournament. I highly recommend him as a coach.
Karen B
I have had multiple lessons with Don and my game has improved significantly. His teaching style is a perfect balance of clear instruction, patience, and enthusiasm. Don breaks down each skill into understandable steps and continually drills with you whether it's serving, dinking, positioning, or strategy. He is always explaining why a technique matters, not just how to do it. This is what separates him from other instructors I have worked with. Don is quick to notice small adjustments that make a big difference. I highly recommend Don to anyone looking to learn or grow in pickleball, whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. He's also chill and fun to learn from.
Suzanne
I’ve had an excellent experience training with Don. He explained concepts clearly, he focused on fundamentals, and tailor each session to my skill level, which helped me improve quickly and confidently. His passion for the game, patience, and competitive knowledge make every lesson both fun and productive. I highly recommend Don for beginners and advancing players alike.
Stan
I highly recommend Don. He is knowledgeable, patient, and great at breaking the game down in a way that’s easy to understand. Perfect for beginners and players looking to advance their game.
Amanda
Don is an excellent choice for seniors looking to learn or improve at pickleball. He understands the limitations of people that are slightly older like myself. He focuses on fundamentals, puts safety 1st and explains how to play smarter not harder while creating a relaxed, welcoming environment. Players feel supported and comfortable at every level. Keeps the fun in the game.
