My husband and I have been taking lessons with Coach Ken for several months now, and we couldn't be happier with our progress. His coaching style is both supportive and challenging, pushing us to exceed our own expectations while always providing constructive feedback. What sets Coach Ken apart is his ability to tailor his instruction to each player's individual needs, ensuring that we both feel confident and comfortable on the court. We've not only improved our pickleball skills but also forged a great friendship with Coach Ken along the way.

Working with Coach Ken has been an absolute pleasure! His wealth of knowledge and experience, both on and off the court, have been invaluable in helping me take my pickleball game to the next level. What I appreciate most about Coach Ken is his unwavering dedication to his students' success. Whether it's refining my technique or developing a winning strategy, Coach Ken goes above and beyond to ensure that I'm constantly improving. Thanks to his guidance, I've seen a remarkable improvement in my game and can't wait to see what the future holds!

Coach Ken has been an absolute game-changer for us! As beginners, we were a bit intimidated by the sport, but Ken's patience and clear instruction made learning pickleball a breeze. His military background shines through in his structured approach to teaching, and we've seen a significant improvement in our skills after just a few sessions. Plus, his enthusiasm for the game is contagious! We highly recommend Coach Ken to anyone looking to up their pickleball game.
