"Charley was great! He truly catered to my skill level and related abilities.

I love the friendly environment that comes with playing pickleball, and I strongly believe that it is one of the most unique sports, due to its ability to be learned quickly without much previous experience. I’m extremely patient, can work with individuals at any skill level, and can tailor lessons to individual needs/goals. Most importantly, I love pickleball and bring this passion to any and all pickleball-related events. If you’re a beginner or have never even touched a pickleball paddle, within a short amount of time you’ll be able to rally and start winning points. If you’re more advanced, you’ll perfect you’re serve, spin, and net game. All ages and skill levels welcome!

"I found the serve practice to be especially valuable during the lesson with Daisy. It helped me focus on an important part of the game and improved my confidence on the court. If you want to sharpen your pickleball skills, I recommend giving Daisy’s lessons a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I'm a versatile athlete with experience in ping pong, badminton, tennis, and pickleball.

Let's work together to improve your game and take it to the next level!

"I have been having a great experience taking pickleball lessons from Jean. He’s calm and unassuming, not eager to show his skills and rather, teaches me basic skills that’re specifically for my needs. He gives me balls that are good trainings for my skill development, and alternating those with occasional instructions and tips, and more challenging balls. I look forward to gaining more skills at the next lesson!
