Client Testimonials

“Larry is a fantastic instructor. My primary purpose in booking my lesson was because I wanted to develop a two-handed backhand, and in the space of an hour, not only did he teach me the fundamentals of the two-handed backhand, but showed me a couple weaknesses in my footwork that are going to change both my backhand and forehand drives. He’s a really good coach!”

“I booked a small group lesson with Jake as a surprise for my friend when we were just getting into pickleball. We were primarily just out there to have fun, but honestly, learning even a little bit of strategy from Jake made it even more fun! He also kept us laughing the whole time for sure and impressed us with his own skills and game knowledge. Would definitely recommend!”

“No way I’d be half the pickleball player I am today if not for Ed :). His advice is always so specific and tailored to your exact game/strengths/weaknesses, he just comes across as such a detail-oriented and intelligent coach! I appreciate how he breaks things down into how they look in drill vs. application for real game. Thanks Ed!”
