We had a great lesson with Amit! He was very responsive in setting up our lesson time. It was our first lesson but we aren’t new to racquet sports—we needed to be quick learners for pickleball because we were playing in a tournament for the first time the next day! He was knowledgeable on all the rules and explained them very well to us. He covered all the important drills with us to set us up for success! We had a great time and he made the lesson super fun! Thank you Amit! Highly recommend A+++!

I just finished a series of 10 lessons with John. My overall game has improved a lot. John corrected many aspects of my game and focused on strategy and shot selection. He also videoed me playing so I could review what I had learned. He also played with me against other players and corrected my game “live” while playing. He’s a great coach for all levels. If you are starting Pickleball consider lessons before you start to ensure you are learning proper techniques and strategies. John is a gem!

Excellent coach! His passion and knowledge of the game is unmatched. He takes the time to work on court strategy, positioning, footwork, doubles strategy and a lot more than I can fit here. I spent A LOT of time to find the right coach and I’m so glad I found John.
