From the very beginning, Dan has been patient and balances technical skill with strategic play. One of the areas I’ve seen the most improvement in is my serve. Dan had me adjust my technique which not only added more power but he also worked on drills to teach me how to place the serve at my opponent’s back hand.

I have had the pleasure of training with him on several occasions. He is patient, informative, and kind. He has taught me 3 different serves, how to master dinking from side to side and best of all how to stand my ground at the kitchen line. He has always taught me to be aware of not only where my partner is but also to see where my opponents are at all times. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or seasoned player, everyone can benefit from his knowledge. > From Pat, 5 out of 5 > Dan is an excellent pickleball instructor!

He’s also extremely accommodating with schedules, making it easy to fit lessons in. I highly recommend Dan for anyone looking to take their pickleball game to the next level! > From Peggy, 5 out of 5 > Coach Dan is great.
