"Today was my first time training with Coach Luis, and it was an awesome experience. He taught me the roll, the flick, and how to improve my dinks in a way that was super easy to understand. He broke down each technique step-by-step and made sure I really got the feel of the shots. I already feel more confident and see improvement after just one session. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and knows exactly how to correct mistakes without making you feel pressured. Highly recommend Coach Luis for anyone who wants to level up their pickleball game!

"I recommend Bacem as a coach because of his tremendous knowledge, experience and his style of explaining things and making it make sense to anyone. I struggled with popping balls, my backhand returns and landing my serve consistently. Learned from Bacem that I don’t need to crush my serve and I just need to land it, now I almost land 100% of my serves. ✅ I also implanting his feedback on how to grip and position my paddle for backhand returns, how to be ready with my paddles at all times, how to anticipate the ball and read the play. I was also advised to focus on watching the opponent how they serve so I know what to expect and how to return it without hitting out or short.
