I am an older lady with no tennis/paddle sport background but he was so patient with me and gave me good advice. He progressed through different skills at an appropriate pace and helped me feel more confident when hitting the ball. I had a great time 😊

My friends and I just started playing pickleball and did not know the rules yet. He patiently taught all of us how to serve and simple strategies when moving to the kitchen. Very patient to all of us older folks!
