It was a great first lesson! Sean assessed my skills and addressed my issues transferring from tennis to pickleball. We performed drills. Sean not only explained the why, but showing me and breaking it down on the court was very helpful. Would absolutely suggest taking lessons to build good skills if you're just starting out or a former tennis player.

Your first lessonA quick analysis of the player rating by written recording of a USA Pickleball Skill Assessment Sheet according to players self report or DUPR rating.
Lesson 11+Even advanced players can benefit from refining specific aspects of their game. Identify areas where the player could improve, like shot selection, footwork, or consistency. Help them break down their game into smaller elements, and work on those individually.
