This was my first lesson and I really liked it. Amit did assess my current level through the series of drills, immediately giving me feedback and pointers on what to do , what not to do and how to improve. We played skinny games, practiced some more drills and finally played doubles with other people on the court. Then Amit gave me a good summary of what he thinks I should be practicing. Overall this was exactly what I was looking for. Fun, quick pace , wide variety of drills, practical and prompt feedback and even a real game with continuous feedback as we played it. Looking forward to my next lesson.

Amit’s approach really helped us all get comfortable with the basics quickly, and I think that’s what stood out. We made good progress and learned the rules in minutes, which was pretty helpful. Though, I’m looking forward to honing our skills further and getting some real-time corrections to improve our game form. If you’re after an instructor who can set a solid foundation and boost your confidence, Amit’s definitely worth a shot.

I had my first pickleball class and I’m extremely happy with the experience. The coach was fully engaged throughout the session, making sure I was actively playing and practicing every technique he taught. He patiently worked with me until I got things right, which really helped build my confidence. I truly appreciate his dedication and hands-on approach. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game!

Playing with Amit was quite a good experience, especially as I enjoyed learning new strategies during the lesson. Though I still want to hone my skills further, I appreciated the focus on playing effectively as a partner. Still, continuing to develop those tactics should make a real difference. If you're interested in fine-tuning your game, Amit might be worth considering.

Bright, patient instruction kept me moving confidently through each drill. Amit has lots of patience and will really listen to your needs. I definitely improved my backhand after my 1st lesson. I also appreciate that we play against other doubles partners as a team. This is towards the end of our lesson. Good for pulling everything together. Book him!

Oh, I think the lesson with Amit was quite helpful. He really paid attention to my weaker areas and explained some tactics I hadn’t considered before, though I still need to work on my return shots. Still, I feel more confident now and I’d consider trying another lesson, especially since he has that way of making the technical stuff easy to grasp.

The drills and discussions about strategy in the lesson really helped me see the game differently, no doubt. Though, I think continuing to develop skills with Amit will really help me improve even more. Still, I appreciated the focus on technique and how practical the advice was. I’ll probably try to follow up with another lesson soon.

The lesson with Amit was great. We managed to cover quite a bit in a relatively short time, and I left with some specific things to practice. I look forward to developing those skills further.

I loved how Amit understood my skill level and adapted the lesson accordingly. Even when I had to stop early because of the heat, he was very accommodating. If you’re looking to improve your pickleball game with a thoughtful coach, Amit’s lessons are definitely worth trying. Just hope for cooler weather next time! ☀️

Amit was great. He helped me with what I needed, even though I had been out for a while and need a lot of help. Some extra help with soft shots and moving better will still be useful. I loved playing a game at the end. If you’re into improving your pickleball skills, I’d suggest giving Amit a shot.

The lesson was quite helpful. I felt like I got a clearer understanding of some basic pickleball techniques though, I’d say it was pretty straightforward. Amit's calm approach made learning easy, and I appreciated the focus on the fundamentals. All good here, I think I’ll try another lesson soon.

Honestly, I think the lesson with Amit focused well on drills and practicing serves, which was quite helpful. Though I still need to work on consistency, the attention to detail in those specific areas made a difference, and I left feeling more confident to apply what I learned in my next game.

Had a great first session! As a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous about learning all the rules, but coach made everything clear and easy to follow. We ended first class walking away feeling much more confident and excited for the next one.
