My focus is on addressing weaknesses and specific shots such as more consistent and powerful backhands, hitting speedups and defending them, third shot drops, topspin rolls, resets, countering slices and dinking and flicks. By emphasizing technique and repetition, I help players improve their confidence on the shots, reduce errors and win more. ## Pack prices - 1 prepaid lesson: $165 total, $165 per lesson - 3 prepaid lessons: $360 total, $120 per lesson - 10 prepaid lessons: $1100 total, $110 per lesson ## Where lessons happen - May Nissen Park, Livermore, California - Osage Park Pickleball Courts, Danville, California - Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park, Pleasanton, California - Muirwood Pickleball Courts, Pleasanton, California - Livermore Downs Park, Livermore, California - Muirwood Community Park, Pleasanton, California ## Reviews > Practiced lob return after a serve, and lob serve. Felt confident after practicing that I can use these effectively during games. Eager to try. Also practiced quick returns at the net, which gave me some more confidence there. Even tried spin returns. Need more practice to get that skill. All great practice and coaching. Thanks, Darren! > From Evelyn, 5 out of 5 > What stood out most was Darren’s patience and deep knowledge. Having all the necessary equipment on hand made the session smooth and convenient. If you want a well-organized and informative pickleball lesson, Darren’s coaching is worth trying out. You’ll come away feeling more confident on the court and ready to improve your game. 👌 > From Phuong, 5 out of 5 > One of Darren's skills as a coach is his willingness to run a lot of drills to help get the moves settled in my brain. Other coaches I have had got bored with drills, and short practices were not helpful. Darren also observes how I'm attacking the ball and offers feedback on how to correct my form. Super! > From Evelyn, 5 out of 5 > Darren was the perfect instructor for our very first lesson in pickle ball. He was flexible and adjusted his lesson to fit our progression so nothing felt too repetitive. We had so much fun and can’t wait for the next lesson! > From Reiko, 5 out of 5 > Darren was awesome and patient with us knowing we are beginners. He taught us step by step right from the very basics. We have 2 more lessons with him and looking forward to take more lessons. Highly recommended. > From Jun, 5 out of 5 > Coach Darren made me feel so comfortable and gave me the best experience in my last 60 days of picking up the paddle! He was supportive while being direct and challenged me! Will continue sessions! > From Linda, 5 out of 5 > Darren was very encouraging & patient with repeating instructions. We appreciate his insight into the game as well since we came in no knowing anything other than a desire to try something new! > From Shannon, 5 out of 5 > Darren is patient and knowledgeable in both the technical and tactical aspects of the game. His guidance helped me sharpen both my swing and court awareness. I would highly recommend. > From Patrick, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-darren-huynh): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/9033e4b8-8b0b-445e-8acf-74fd668897fb): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
