After a friend of mine who played Pickleball fell and hurt themselves, I was a little afraid of that happen I g to me. Stephen explained why those things happened very clearly and how to prevent them, including things like the right equipment to have. He was a really good coach.

Stephen’s knowledge and skill of pickleball was so complete. I understood the rules and learned of the strategy than I imagined. He was such a complete player to hitting transition balls the way they should be played. He has so much knowledge.

I never quite understood the strategy but after Stef explained it it became so clear that every shot has an intent it helped me such a better player. He has such a skill at explaining things it’s easy to get it.

What you need to bringEvery student should bring your paddle, wear the proper shoes, water or favorite liquid and a towel. Running shoes are not good because they do not provide the proper stability, support and maneuverability like all-court shoes do. Also running shoes may stick on the surface and cause you to fall. I highly reccoment all-court tennis or pickleball shoes. They are made specifically for these court conditions.
What I can bringI have a limited amount of demo paddles, so if you need one, I may be able to supply that for you to demo. I will supply the pickleballs.
