Clear instructions were given for coaching session. As a beginner who doesn’t have a place to play, I didn’t know where to go. Luckily, Matt has his own private court on a rooftop. Aesthetically, the court was top notch. His easygoing personality put me at ease as I normally shy to go to the gym and workout.

Didn’t know if I wanted to make the investment to buy paddles, balls, and a net so I signed up for a beginner lesson since it was free if I didn’t like the experience. Came for the no risk. Stayed for the complementary coffee and tea. Matt was a great instructor who was engaging, empathetic, and patient!

Perfect instructor for anyone looking to dip their toes in a great new aerobic exercise. I didn’t realize how many calories I burned. He made it seem effortless. The warm-up run, the introduction, the practice, and the mini-games were a nice touch to spice things up.

I have never played Pickleball before so I didn’t know how to start or what to expect. Matt had a clear and concise game plan. He made the entire game easy to understand. With him as my instructor, the intimidation aspect melter away.

Great instructor! Learned a lot from his sessions. I went from never able to beating my mom in Pickleball to winning local tournaments here in Maryland. Will be referring friends!
