Matthew started by making me feel like he had known me for years. This made me feel welcome and not so nervous. He showed outstanding knowledge of the game and he took the time to simplify the basics of pickleball. Matthew demonstrated flawless shots and very well placed winners. I will be coming for my next round of lessons and he is now my go to. 10 out 10

Matthew was on time for are lesson and even had a assistant or celebrity guest he would bring out. The lesson plan was very simple to understand and he seemed to never get frustrated no matter how bad I was. Great lessons and will be seeing Matthew again.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBreaking the game down as I say Barney style meaning as simple as possible while covering details of the game and proper form. How to hold paddle, picking the right paddle, and basic rules. Every question is a good question so ask away.
Lesson 11+As the lessons go on you will see how much the simple drills explained in the first 2-4 lessons can change your game. Fast hand drills, wall drills, third shot drop and drive drills. Now let's get out and meet me at the line!!°
Lesson 4-10At t his point your telling g your friends that your a 3.5 player lol! Not quite at that level yet but now we have general understanding of the game we will move into harder drills and strategy when playing doubles compared to playing singles and so on.
Lesson 2-3Still coving basic game play and technique while learning simple at home drills that will help as we move into diffrent phases. This is when we will cover styles, and how to get the best result with simple shots and placement.
Advanced training plan
What you need to bringGood shoes with ankle support, any braces that you will need knee, elbow, wrist. MAKE SURE YOU BRING WATER AND DRINK PLENTY BEFORE EACH LESSON.
What I can bringI will provide training balls and if needed additional paddles. I do recommend getting your own paddle after the first two lessons or before.
