Kobe is a fantastic instructor. He’s so very knowledgeable about the game and so very very patient and direct in his methods. I’ll keep working with him as long as he’s still teaching!

Kobe was patient and explained pickleball concepts clearly to me even though I don’t have a sports background. He taught me how to play with the proper form which helped many areas of my play. His experience with badminton, tennis, ping pong, and other sports meant he was able to give unique insights and tips that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Would definitely recommend!

The session was fantastic. Kobe is an extremely professional coach, and of course very skilled at pickleball himself. The sessions are well organized and I already felt significant improvement. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve the pickleball skills

Peter took the time to create a customized lesson plan for me based on my current skills and gameplay style. For my first lesson, we went through the basics of dinking. He was able to really clearly describe the technique as we went through some drills, and also explained strategy really well and why the skills were necessary. I really enjoyed the lesson, and will definitely be continuing with Peter!
