I’ve been hooked on pickleball since 2021, and I play competitively at the 4.0–4.5 level (soon to be 4.5–5.0!). My true passion, though, is coaching adult beginners and helping people fall in love with this amazing sport. My coaching style is all about keeping things fun while building real skills and strategy. I believe in learning by playing, cheering each other on, and letting passion lead the way. Whether your goal is to keep up with friends, join a league, or just enjoy a new hobby, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there. One of my favorite things about pickleball is how welcoming it is—anyone can jump in and play, no matter their athletic background. Yet at the same time, there’s always room to improve and challenge yourself. Plus, the community is second to none—you’ll leave the court with new friends and a big smile. My go-to shot is the two-handed backhand drive (the “twoie”), and right now I’m working on nailing my backhand roll. Fun fact: I grew up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—home of Selkirk Sport—so I’ll always be a Selkirk girl at heart! ## Pack prices - 1 prepaid lesson: $140 total, $140 per lesson - 3 prepaid lessons: $300 total, $100 per lesson - 10 prepaid lessons: $850 total, $85 per lesson ## Where lessons happen - Meadow Lake Park, New Hope, Minnesota - Pickle in the Middle, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota - Becker Park, Crystal, Minnesota ## Reviews > I'm really satisfied with this lesson. Learning new skills with Saraa was quite helpful, and her approach keeps it engaging without feeling rushed. Though I still have work to do on consistent shots, her focus on fundamentals really stood out, and I feel more confident now. Keep learning and having fun, definitely consider trying her lessons if you want a measured, thoughtful way to improve. > From Sule, 5 out of 5 > I liked how Saraa focused on the progress of moving forward with volley and game action during the lesson, which was pretty helpful. Though I think perfecting skills might be an ongoing process, her approach made me feel more confident about my control and shot placement. It's good to see a coach emphasizing steady improvement, and I look forward to my next lesson. > From Jane, 5 out of 5 > Oh, I’d say the lesson with Saraa was quite helpful. The way she explained paddle handling and stood me up properly made a real difference, and her encouragement kept me motivated. Honestly, I’m feeling more confident about my strokes now. Still, I might need a few more lessons to perfect my skills, and I’m continuing lessons with her. > From Jane, 5 out of 5 > Wow, I think Saraa's lesson really helped me nail being able to play and volley better. I still need to work on perfecting my serve and backhand, but I feel more confident overall. Still, I’m hopeful I can keep building on these skills with her guidance. > From Jane, 5 out of 5 > Getting more comfortable with the volley and serve, I think Saraa's lesson really helped fine-tune those parts of my game, and I'm hopeful about perfecting my skills further. > From Jane, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-saraa-kastning): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/dd346930-5769-46d2-8eb4-047e381b4fcf): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
