As a beginner, I was somewhat nervous, but Drew’s coaching ability was fantastic! He was incredibly patient and encouraging. I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning from him. I highly recommend Drew to anyone just starting out playing pickleball. Also I leaned a lot about the basics of the game. He is Excellent!!!
