I started playing pickleball four years ago, and it has kept me both physically active and mentally challenged. This fueled my desire to compete with more skilled players, learning different spins and lobs. As a mom of seven, I enjoy playing pickleball with my children, proving that it's a sport for all ages. Pickleball has become a wonderful way for us to stay active and have fun together.

"Within 5 minutes of watching me in rec play, Coach Ted already knew what all I struggled with. I’ve worked with so many coaches in the past year and have had countless lessons, but Coach Ted is probably the only coach who had somehow explained something to me in a way I understood. All previous coaches would try to show me how to use more shoulders to hit instead of all arm, but I could never do it properly until Coach Ted showed me and I was able to do it right away. He taught me to hit starting with “side view” and to hit like “twisting a bottle”. We also worked on two-handed backhanded dinks and drives and backhand slices. We also worked on volleys and he showed me how to “jab” and I was able to keep the volley going for 10 minutes. Coach Ted was very patient and professional and got right down to business. I am already planning my next lesson with him and I know he will help me level up. I highly recommend Coach Ted!
