Another very good lesson! So glad I signed up for the package of 4 after the first free lesson.
Daniel evaluated me during the first lesson and has focused in on what I need to work on.
Looking forward to the future lessons with a positive and skilled coach!

Taking lessons with Dan helped me jump right into the open rec play at my local park. Going into my first games knowing some strategies and etiquette helped me get over the nerves of playing new people. Great lessons from a great coach.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEvery lesson starts with a conversation about goals and targets to make sure everyone is on the same page. We'll cover basic rules, skills, shots, strategies needed to start playing and competing.
Lesson 11+Finally we'll put your skills to the test with guided game play, incorporating all the techniques and strategies you've learned. We'll also introduce you to advanced shots like lobs and spins, and fine-tune your overall game performance to prepare you for competitive play.
Lesson 4-10Now we'll focus on improving your shot accuracy and placement while learning key strategies for both singles and doubles play. We'll work on your volleys, dinks, and game tactics to increase your confidence and effectiveness on the court.
Lesson 2-3Next we'll build on your initial skills by refining your forehand and backhand strokes, and start practicing consistent serves. We'll also introduce you to court positioning and basic footwork to enhance your game play.

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I work with kids, it's all about fun! Skills and strategies don't mean anything if your child doesn't enjoy what they're doing and want to play again the next day. We'll focus on the basics through fun games and drills that help your child grow and develop a love for the game.
Working with teenagersEvery teenager is different, so figuring out what drives them is important. Whether it's playing for fun or eyeing a future full of high level competition, we'll adapt lessons to make sure your child is growing and developing a love for the game.
What you need to bringPaddle, sneakers, water.
What I can bringI provide plenty of pickleballs to maximize repetitions, targets for skill work, and a paddle if needed.
