Drills + Skills + Fun = Leveled-up! One 12-hour block of lessons completed and I can now block balls from bangers, put shape on dinks, aggressively speed-up, and hold my own with much better players. Coach Bragg has given me forehand and backhand skills. Besides jokes/laughing throughout the lessons, a highlight is to play real points against a pro pickleballer! We have worked on: Dinking forehand Dinking backhand Singles play strategy Doubles strategy Presetting paddle angles Contact points Finish paddle angle Much more not on this list. I’ll book again with Coach Bragg!

Tournament player here. I have taken lessons with several coaches over the years but taking lessons with a certified professional player was quite the change. - James focused on fundamentals even at the tournament level - gave great examples based on professional current players techniques - gave great match play advice that I applied to my game and have seen improvement

Used James for tournament training. After hearing his resume I wanted to give him a try. I wasn’t disappointed. James played me in matches and drilled with me. Gave me great feedback and even came to my tournament and took notes for us to use in our practices. I recommend James if you want to improve.

Happy to be working with James. He took me as a student even though I’m a senior player. He is patient and understanding of my limits. I have began to beat most of the other seniors in my groups I play with during the week. He provides very technical advice that can be applied right away.

He taught me and my two daughters for several years. They can both play very well now. He brought a lot of energy and knowledge of the game. He made it fun for the kids to keep coming back.
