Chance is great at assessing my skill deficits and giving me corrective tips and drills to improve. He always has a smile on his face and is positive and patient during instruction. I’ve tried other coaches, but have made the fastest progress with Chance!

I really enjoy having Chance as my coach. My pickleball game has improved considerably under his coaching. He's always able to identify my problem areas and provide clear guidance to help fix the issue at hand. He's patient and upbeat and his lessons are always super informative and fun.

I highly recommend Chance as an instructor because of his patience and great communication skills. During my first six months of pickleball I was stuck in the beginner stage. After about five lessons with Chance I moved into the intermediate phase of the game and now, after more than a dozen lessons, I’m no longer the “weak link” in a doubles match plus I’m enjoying myself a lot more.

If you’re trying to improve your pickleball game, make sure to take lessons with Chance. I’ve only taken 3 lessons from Chance, and I can confidently say he is one of the most positive and energetic instructors I’ve worked with. His positive coaching style makes it easy to stay focused and motivated. He is very good at finding ways to help me improve with my footwork, court positioning, and shot selection. He’ll suggest some small changes that make a huge difference! I highly recommend Chance to players of all levels.

Chance is an excellent Pickelball Coach. He clearly explains game strategy, specific drill lessons and shots covering body positioning and movement, paddle handling, etc. He is calm, patient and encouraging to bring out the best in the student. I would highly recommend him as a group or 1:1 coach to improve your game.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI start by asking questions to see how much experience the beginner has? Then I go into shots and strategy if they have experience. If they don’t have experience, then I go over rules and let them play a couple games to get the hang of keeping score and playing skinny singles. I also asked them to go to the park a lot more to play wreck games, letting the players they play with know that they are beginners.
Lesson 11+Kitchen games to increase hand, speed with volleys (slow and fast) to forehand and backhand. Increasing consistency with flatter hits and blocks to keep the ball low over the net.
Lesson 4-10Kitchen drills, transition, zone drills, and baseline drill drills for consistency along with kitchen games, transition games, and baseline games. You can also expect a lot of backhand drills.
Lesson 2-3Serve and returns, drives and drops, dinks and speed ups to volleys with some skinny singles, gameplay in the last 15 min.
