Michael is great. He paid attention to what I needed and worked on it with an effective strategy. Private court and awesome view are big plus as well. Looking forward to many more lessons.

Exceptional Pickleball Coaching
I started with Michael as a beginner, and within just a couple of lessons, I was able to advance my level significantly. His patience, sincerity, and extensive knowledge make him an outstanding coach. Whether you're new to pickleball or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Michael. His ability to break down complex techniques and provide personalized feedback truly sets him apart. Thanks to his guidance, my confidence and enjoyment of the game have soared.

Michael was very flexible to accommodate our needs. I did the training with my friend. Both of us were new to pickleball and basically any racket/ball game. Our skills improved significantly even with only 4 sessions that we feel confident to go outside and practice at courts by ourselves. He was focused on correct serves, etc. as well as teaching us the rules. We both appreciate his patience, encouragement and support. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to learn basics or improve his/her skills in pickleball and he has a beautiful private court that gives a lot flexibility for scheduling.

Michael was fantastic to work with and he went above and beyond. We hired him for a corporate group of about 11 people and the feedback from attendees was that this was the most fun they’ve ever had playing pickleball! We had a mix of beginners and some slightly more experienced and they were all able to jump in and have a good time. I highly recommend Michael for your next lesson, group activity or practice. He is great!
