"His positive attitude really stood out in the lesson, and I appreciated how approachable he was. Though better serves and backhand technique could improve my game, I left feeling more confident. Still, I think with focused practice, especially on those areas, I’ll see even more progress. If you want a laid-back, encouraging lesson, Rich might be worth trying.

As an experienced pickleball player and instructor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the court. Playing at the 4.5 level and IPTPA Level 2 certified for pickleball instruction, I enjoy teaching newcomers and advanced players alike. My lessons focus on the techniques and strategies that set players up for success. With an indoor teaching location, I can hold lessons rain or shine, ensuring consistent progress. I look forward to helping you tune your pickleball skills and achieve your goals!
