I had never played a game, and didn’t own a paddle. Sean actually gave me a great deal on a paddle on the spot that he recommended based on my needs. I was a bit anxious at first, but Sean's coaching style made all the difference. He was patient and supportive, which helped me feel at ease while learning from my mistakes. I’d definitely recommend Sean to anyone new to pickleball.

It was a great first lesson! Sean assessed my skills and addressed my issues transferring from tennis to pickleball. We performed drills. Sean not only explained the why, but showing me and breaking it down on the court was very helpful. Would absolutely suggest taking lessons to build good skills if you're just starting out or a former tennis player.

Sean is great at communicating a skill or strategy until I fully understood. He then drills a practice around that topic and can even advance it further. I really appreciated his patience and positivity throughout the sessions. Thank you again!
