I was not able to find a place to add the review, but here it is. Again thank you so much and hope to come back after my trip!
“Rose is a superb coach with attention to the details that make a difference. I was stuck at rec games level and she helped me get unstuck to move up and am now able to hang in there with higher level players (4.0 plus). She was worth the one hour drive for me and came highly recommended by several pickleball friends.”

I recently took a pickleball lesson and had an excellent experience! Rose was incredibly thorough and clearly passionate about both the sport and helping others improve. As an intermediate player returning to pickleball after about a year away, I appreciated how she took the time to assess my needs and focus on areas where I could improve.
She worked with me on drilling dinks and building confidence at the kitchen line, which made a noticeable difference in my game. Her expertise and encouraging teaching style made the lesson both productive and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to refine their skills, whether you're just starting out or trying to elevate your game!
