I had an incredible pickleball lesson with Chong! His coaching style is both patient and encouraging, making it easy to grasp new techniques. He provided clear instructions, helpful corrections, and valuable strategies that instantly improved my game. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and dedication to helping me grow as a player. Highly recommend it.

"Such a fun game to play. I'm hooked. Chong has taught me from the beginning. He's teaching me the skills step by step, not overloading me with too much information. There's so much to learn about the game and I'm glad I'm learning the skills in a progressive format. And it was fun beating the 'wall' in the wall drills, yeah !!!"

“Chong is a knowledgeable, competent and enthusiastic instructor. He has an unique ability of passing on important and fundamental information while keeping lessons fun and rewarding. He helped me to gain skill and more importantly confidence. So grateful.

We hired Chong for our company tournament. We never played pickleball before. He taught us an extensive 2.5 hour lesson to prepare us one week before. We lost only 8-11 and we held our own against experienced players. His doubles strategies paid off.
