I've had the pleasure of training with Coach April, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the very first session, it was clear that she not only knows the game inside and out, but also has a real talent for teaching. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to take your game to the next level, April meets you exactly where you are and helps you grow with patience, precision, and encouragement.
Her coaching style is energetic, positive, and always focused on improvement. April breaks down techniques in a way that's easy to understand and immediately applicable. She gives constructive feedback without ever making you feel overwhelmed, and she’s great at spotting the little things that make a big difference on the court.
What sets April apart is her passion—not just for pickleball, but for helping others succeed. She creates a welcoming, fun, and motivating environment that makes learning both effective and enjoyable. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence and skill level have improved dramatically.
