1st lesson. Zach is very passionate about Pickleball. It’s infectious. He went over all the basics with me and then practice with me afterwards. Isolating the areas that improvement was needed and going over them repeatedly until I could the task well.

Zack was a great instructor! I learned so much in the hour I had with him and genuinely felt like a more proficient and confident player! I was really struggling with my third shot drops and by the end of our session I was consistently landing them.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will focus on what you know about the games and what you are hoping to improve. If you do not know then we will chat for a few minuets and I will go over what you know and put together a training plan for you and we will do some drills to get started! I will also have PERSONALIZED VIDEOS explaining what we worked on for every lesson. Everyone learns a bit differently and I am very good at adapting to your style of play.
Lesson 11+We will begin to focus on very specific techniques such as what to do when certain situations occur. Just like every sport you need a big tool box of skills and patterns to achieve a high level of play.
Lesson 4-10Here if all the fundamentals are looking good we will begin to incorporate some game play into our lessons doing more game like interactive drills.
Lesson 2-3Within lesson 2-3 we will come back and see what you have improved on and what you are struggling with from the lesson before. Here we will potentially start to use the BALL MACHINE I have to get many reps in.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson we will go over what you know as an advanced player and what techniques you may be lacking. We will go over drills and agility training for pickleball. Focusing a lot on ball placement and scenarios to look out for. I have a BALL MACHINE and personalized videos for use as well.
Lesson 4-10We will start to incorporate gameplay into our lessons talking about what to do in certain situations.
Lesson 2-3We will review the drills we practiced previously and do some more agility training. I hope to practice the need for fast hands, dinking placement, speed ups backhand and forehand, and drops and drives.

Youth players
Working with kidsI have a lot of experience being a camp counselor for over 3 years. I work very well with kids and teaching them many sports and lessons in a fun environment.

Working with teenagersHaving also worked with teenagers I have a good understanding and personable relationship with them. We will have a fun yet rigorous session in pickleball working on agility and training.

What you need to bringSportswear to play in and a paddle. I will have affordable paddle recommendations at our first lesson to buy and discounts you can use.
