I loved how thorough and encouraging Kirsten was during the lesson, especially with improving my serves. Her guidance made the session enjoyable and easy to follow. If you’re looking to boost your pickleball skills, I’d definitely recommend taking a lesson with her. Ready to schedule your next session and keep the progress going! 👏

Kirsten was amazing! Knowledgeable, patient, fun & packed alot in 90 minutes. Highly recommend her
Kristine S.
Kirsten aka “Ruby” is one of the most kind, encouraging and determined pickleball player/pro/coach I have ever met. She is so encouraging to play along side due to her upbeat attitude and positive comments. Her instruction in lessons is at the level you are at and then she builds to elevate your skill, strategy and overall game play. I would highly recommend her as a coach or pro to take lessons from as her approach is not intimidating and she is so professional and clearly highly skilled. .

Our experience at Talon Ridge was made incredible thanks to our pickleball coach! She went above and beyond—scheduling play times, organizing a fun tournament, and giving excellent coaching throughout. Her energy, organization, and teaching style made the entire stay so much better. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been the same without her. We’re so grateful for all she did and hope to connect with her again at future resorts!
Victoria Nash
Kirsten is a truly exceptional coach, excelling in both her coaching abilities and her personality. What truly separates her from others is her aptitude for nurturing the mental aspects of the game, including strategies and a strong mental focus. For anyone looking to enhance their understanding of the game and improve their abilities, or become a top competitor, Kirsten is undoubtedly the perfect coach for the job.

I took a private lesson with Kirsten while staying at Talona Ridge RV Resort. She transformed my serve. I’m looking forward to camping there again in about 5 weeks to take another lesson. As a former tennis player, I have a lot of bad pickleball habits and form. I also enjoyed playing with her every morning while there along with several pickleball players. She was very interactive and gave us a lot of tips.
