What students say...

"Coach Paul is a good fit for me. Im looking for somebody who will help me perfect the basics. This is my first lesson with him and I liked that he pointed out few fundamentals I need to know initially. I know I need to know more and attending more lessons is the next step. I told him my goals and he told me the outline of what we should do. I’m looking forward to my next lessons!

The first lesson with Paul was everything I expected and more. His guidance, corrections, and explanations were easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions through our first lesson. I can tell he would be a great coach to continue building my skills with and provide the right guidance towards my playing goals. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with him and to put into practice the great foundation he has already taught me. I would highly recommend Paul as your pickleball coach!

Having taken a lesson with Paul, I’d say the experience was quite good. Though not overly enthusiastic, I think the focus on fundamentals really helped clarify my technique. I feel reasonably confident I’ll improve with time. Still, some more tailored drills would be welcome in future lessons. Anyway, if you’re looking to refine your skills without any fluff, Paul’s worth considering.

My lesson with Paul was great! He explained everything in detail.. my most favorite was explaining of body mechanics (hand movements , foot positioning , best positioning for paddles) Which help me out a lot. Still a beginner at pickle ball, took lessons in past, unfortunately wasn’t taught this. FYI this was my first lesson with Paul and happy to learn so much.

The lesson with Paul was quite helpful, especially working on linking skills from baseline to kitchen and volleys. Still, I need to improve my serve return and blocking with my backhand, but overall, I left feeling more capable on the court. Definitely a good step forward. Paul is great!
