Our session with John was very enjoyable. His passion for the sport and his patience in teaching the fundamental knowledge and skills were evident throughout the lesson. After the session, we felt accomplished and eager to continue pursuing this sport.

What you need to bringBring your “A” game (2x “PET”): First set of PET: 1. “P” = Physical - how is your body feeling today prepared or not? 2. “E” = Equipment - right Paddle, sport wear and appropriate court shoes? 3. “T” = Technical - are you prepared to start with the basic fundamentals eg. Serve, Groundstrokes, Volleys, Drops, Dinks, Overheads focusing on Grip, Set Up, Impact Point, Sensation and Recovery. Second set of PET: 1. “P” = Psychological- how is your mind feeling today working on your Mental Toughness, by drilling and practicing techniques. 2. “E” = Environment - when playing outdoors looking at Sun, Wind Temperature Moisture that will affect your brain to function differently than playing indoors. 3. “T” = Tactical- how will you apply and handle pressure to and manage pressure from your opponents by understanding why you send or receive certain shots, eg. BE CONSISTENT by keeping the ball in play, and Serving deep to APPLY PRESSURE on your opponent and returning the serves deep to manage deep serves so that you have more time and distance to run to the Non Volley Line to attack and again apply pressure to your opponents.
What I can bring I have 3 additional paddles (my own 2 Selkirk Epics and generic Carbon 16mm weighted 8.5 oz high quality) that students may use or.demo for their first time, a ball hopper with 40+ balls for games, practice and drills.. And a portable pickleball net with tape to set up anywhere to play.
