Richard Lugo profile
About Richard

Beyond the playful name, pickleball is a game of strategy, agility, and finesse – all things I love to teach! With 5 years of experience playing at a competitive level, I bring a deep understanding of the game and a passion for sharing it. Let's work together to elevate your pickleball game and unlock your full potential on the court.

What students say...

"Richard's first lesson was quite thorough, and I appreciated how he balanced covering all the rules with actually playing the ball around, which kept things engaging. Though, I think with a bit more movement and smoother hits, it could become even more effective. Still, it was a good experience and I’d consider trying Richard again for his knowledge and enthusiasm.

Brendan Dugan profile
About Brendan

I got into pickleball after a few friends dragged me along to play. Now I’m hooked and absolutely love playing. I have taught many friends and newcomers how to play and excited to teach you.

What students say...

"Brendan's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my dink shot technique, which I’d been struggling with. He explained how foot positioning can really make a difference, though I still have some work to do. Still, I’m optimistic about applying the tips he shared and hoping to improve further soon. If you’re looking to fine-tune specific skills, it’s worth giving Brendan a try.

Suzanne Savion profile
About Suzanne

4.0 level player. Love pickleball and love teaching! Former tennis player (still play here and there). Never thought I would love anything more than tennis, but here we are! Would be my pleasure to teach you how to play pickleball and answer any questions you might have!

What students say...

"I continue to learn new things. This past lesson was a mix of drills to help me manage and return balls coming to my center, right and left. I like when Suzanne has me re- doing something until I get the hang of. She is patient, doesn’t move on just because we spent x amount of time on. She will say “nope, let’s do it again”. I encourage that.

Brendan is terrific! I just had my first lesson with him and I am definitely continuing. He is a natural instructor. Patient, focused on helping me improve, and providing excellent drills. He observed my play closely and provided incredibly helpful tips and fixes that instantly enhanced my game. Brendan is also super nice and personable. I am excited to keep working with Brendan to improve my game. I only wish I had started sooner!

Suzanne is quite good at breaking down different parts of the game and explaining them in a way that makes sense, especially because she takes her time giving specific tips for improvement. Still, I’d like to see a bit more of the same in future lessons. Overall, her approach really helped me understand what I need to work on. If you’re looking for a thoughtful coach who explains things clearly, Suzanne might be worth trying out.

Brendan is an excellent pickleball coach. He has a great way of explaining techniques clearly and breaking things down so they’re easy to understand. What I appreciate most is how he not only points out where I need to improve, but also highlights the things I’m already doing well. His ability to analyze both strengths and opportunities for growth makes the sessions really valuable and motivating.
