Richard is a great coach! He gave me a ton of pointers and I've been improving fast. He's really knowledgeable and makes the lessons funs and challenging. It was great to finally play a game with other residents and put what I learned into action. If you’re looking to improve your pickleball skills, his lessons are definitely worth trying out! 🏓

I had the absolute pleasure of taking a pickleball lesson with Richard, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the sport! He was wonderfully thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Richard has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes the game approachable and easy to understand even for total beginners like me.

Great coach! Very patient and keeps encouraging a complete beginner like me. After the first hour, I went from “I can’t even hit the ball” to really started to feel the joy of playing pickleball!

Working with kids

I’ve coach various sports for over 40 years covering ages 7-21. But, teaching young kids has always been rewarding once I see their reaction to their personal accomplishments. That growth is great!!
