I had the absolute pleasure to learn many pickleball tips from Scott. From the moment, my friends and I arrived, he was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable on the court. Although I was a beginner, he was very patient and his enthusiasm for the game was unmatched. Scott explained the basics to me very clearly and his tips have definitely improved my skills and confidence. I highly recommend Scott to anyone, whether you’re starting out or just looking to up your game!

Scott is an awesome pickleball coach! He’s great at teaching tricks like how to spin the ball and spot other players' weak points—like aiming at their less dominant hand to score. He’s super encouraging and has so much patience, especially if you’re just starting out. He makes learning fun and really helps you improve your game. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonServing: The serve must be underhand and from the baseline, the back line of the court. The ball must bounce before the receiver returns it.
Scoring: The serving team earns points, and matches are usually played to 11 points. The winning team needs a two-point lead.
Lesson 11+Basic footwork techniques: Proper grip, stance, and footwork are a strong foundation for executing shots effectively and with precision.
Lesson 4-10Backswing: The backswing is the motion where your paddle moves back farther so you can swing forward to hit the ball. A shorter backswing is generally better.
Lesson 2-3Angles and passing shots: Mix up your shots by using different angles, pace, and spin.
Pickleball paddle: Paddles come in different materials and designs, which can affect your playing style. Graphite paddles are lightweight and maneuverable, while composite paddles offer a balance of power and control.
Advanced training plan
