Wow! What a fun game! This was our first time playing pickleball and what an honor it was to learn from a pro like John! His upbeat and encouraging teaching style made this lesson very fun while also informative. I’d highly recommend anyone who plays to take a lesson from John.

I set up lessons to learn PICKLEBALL after going to play PICKLEBALL with beginners. I needed to learn more about playing the sport since I was not a tennis player. I had lessons by John. He helped me to play better besides understanding the game better too. I highly recommend taking lessons. It kept me from developing bad habits I would have to break. I highly recommend John to be your teacher. He explains what he’s teaching you and has you work on it and helps you improve your technique. He is very friendly, informative and patient. I plan to attend groups he is working with presently and as I get better, play in a tournament.

I just finished a series of 10 lessons with John. My overall game has improved a lot. John corrected many aspects of my game and focused on strategy and shot selection. He also videoed me playing so I could review what I had learned. He also played with me against other players and corrected my game “live” while playing. He’s a great coach for all levels. If you are starting Pickleball consider lessons before you start to ensure you are learning proper techniques and strategies. John is a gem!

Before I knew it all my friends were playing Pickleball and were asking me to join them. I knew I'd be a flounder if I just went out with them and tried to play. I sought out John and it was a great decision. He taught me the basics and continued to reinforce those through the 10 lessons as I progressed in refining and improving my game. John is a terrific pro and shares his expertise skillfully. It was fun taking lessons with John and I know it made my learning curve shorter.

I started my lessons with John Gill as a complete novice. John was knowledgeable, patient, and energetic. His passion for pickleball is contagious. After ten lessons, I feel confident enough to play against others and not feel like a beginner. I've gone from watching shows on Bravo to watching pickleball videos on Instagram; that is progress, I highly recommend John for your pickleball learning needs.
