Even before Doug became a Certified Instructor, I could tell that he would be the person to help me improve my game. I was fortunate enough to randomly partner with him at a public pickleball court in Carlsbad, and it was clear to me that Doug was a great player. When I found out that he was a Certified Instructor, I immediately got on his calendar so that I could begin to learn from him and improve my game. I found Doug’s teaching style to be compatible with my competitive nature. He taught me strategies and techniques that allow me to play at the challenge courts level with confidence. Anyone who is given lessons by Doug will see their game and enjoyment of pickleball improve tremendously. Sylvia

I’ve been playing pickleball for 1.5 years. I had lessons when I first started and several after. I had 3 pros who helped me understand the basics of pickleball. But I must have taken at least 5 lessons all within the last 4 months with Doug Gore. He is by far the best pickleball coach I’ve ever had. He is patient. He takes his time explaining the game and the strategies. Worked on my serve and return of serve. Spent 2 lessons alone on the dinking aspect of the game. He does it with constant encouragement and has even come out to watch me play and offer up advice on what I’m doing wrong and what I’m doing correctly. You will improve your game in no time. Glenn

Not having any experience with pickleball, it was crucial that I found a coach to help me decide if it would be a sport I could learn to love. I responded to Doug’s posting and since that time I have not only grown to love the sport but also have a coach help me through the entire process. His patience, expertise, and training is beyond what I imagined. I have learned so much and continue to with him close by, teaching and observing and forever giving advice. I would highly recommend him as a coach if you want to succeed in the sport. Gale
