As a beginner, I was somewhat nervous, but Drew’s coaching ability was fantastic! He was incredibly patient and encouraging. I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning from him. I highly recommend Drew to anyone just starting out playing pickleball. Also I leaned a lot about the basics of the game. He is Excellent!!!

No touch Ace- A serve where the opponent did not touch the ball
Lesson 4-10After understanding the rules and how to start the game. The next few Lessons will be Dinking, Spiking, and Lobs. Once these three skills are implemented we’d look into working on speed up’s, accurate drive’s, slicing and Resetting Rally’s.
Lesson 2-3The next couple lesson’s will be serves and returns. As many average beginners who have not played any paddle sport, serving and returning is VERY Important. We will be introducing back-hand and forward returns.
Advanced training plan
Your first lesson1v1 Me
2v2 Me
Winner will not need any lessons from me
Loser may need some lessons
Lesson 4-10I’m just a Chill guy who plays pickle-ball!
Intermediate and above you will not need lessons but more hours.
Lesson 2-3Reality Check if you lost to me then let’s be quite Frank your not advanced. So we will continue playing casuals until you improve and or beat me .
Youth players
Working with kidsKid’s will be taught same as the adults, because kid’s are more capable and teachable than adults themselves. I know a couple of children who are in grade school now who are quite high level at this sport. So I don’t underestimate the children and their comprehension skills. I believe showing the game is fun is the best way to have the kids interested and focused.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teens, good competition, patience and competitiveness will draw their attention. This is also a social sport that they themselves can introduce to their own friends and play pickle ball with them.
What you need to bringBring Outdoor Pickleballs.
You are more than welcomed to bringing your own paddle.
Also bring water and a teachable spirit.
What I can bringI have access to a variety of several paddles to choose from (6 Total). Temporary Use Only*
