My 8 year old daughter looks forward to and loves her pickleball lessons with Coach Katherine. And she has improved her play in a short amount of time. I can’t recommend coach Katherine enough!

Very good! I appreciate Katherine, she did a great job teaching the rules, holding the bat, hitting and controlling the ball. I enjoyed the first lesson and I look forward to the next one.

Let’s play Pickleball and have some fun!
