After playing for two years, mostly just hitting the ball back and with no instruction, Coach Jeff’s lessons are teaching me proper techniques and strategy. I’m playing much better now with more confidence and others have noticed too.

Working with kidsWhen teaching kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun and engaging, using games and activities that make learning enjoyable. I focus on building a strong foundation in the basics, while incorporating age-appropriate drills and exercises that keep their interest and energy level high. Patience and encouragement are key as I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young players feel confident and excited to learn.
Working with teenagersWhen teaching teenagers, I adapt my lessons to balance skill development with the social and competitive aspects that appeal to this age group. I incorporate advanced drills and techniques while fostering a supportive and collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and peer learning. By focusing on both physical fitness and strategic thinking, I helped teens develop their skills and confidence, preparing them for competitive play and personal growth in the sport.
