Mike’s teaching style felt practical and easy to follow, which made it easier to grasp the concepts. Still, I’m hopeful that with continued focus on these techniques, I’ll gradually see more improvement. If you’re interested in building a solid foundation, I’d suggest giving Mike a try.

"Eric and I made such great progress within our first lesson together. His teaching style really clicked with my learning abilities and that was very helpful with the drills we were doing.

He is patient, super knowledgeable, and gives great instant feedback.

Mike is a PPR certified Pickleball instructor focused on helping folks in the Folsom and Sacramento areas how to get into the game he loves. Mike has been teaching over a year now and has been playing for several more. He is a frequent tournament competitor as well.
"Mike's lesson really helped me understand how to hold my racquet better in certain situations and to attack the ball properly. Though I think I could still improve on my serve techniques, I feel more confident now, and the lessons really stuck with me. Still, I’m hopeful that with more practice, my serve will get sharper. Definitely worth trying if you want a measured, practical approach to pickleball.

The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Eric

Advanced players typically want help with specific tactics, shots or strokes. As a result, we will most likely spend our lesson focused on a single stroke or skill, reviewing footage, making corrections where applicable and discussing how specific footwork limits available shots and decision making. For advanced first lessons, we would want to heavily rely on video feedback, using both in-game scenarios and practice sessions.
