Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 35
As a beginner in pickleball, I’ve been learning the basics and improving my consistency, especially with serves, volleys, and shot placement. Playing with Simo has helped me understand positioning, patience, and when to use power versus control. One of my biggest challenges has been reacting quickly at the kitchen line, but I’m getting better at anticipating shots. I’m also working on my footwork and learning to reset points instead of rushing. Pickleball has been a fun and fast-paced sport to learn, and I’m excited to keep improving my skills!

is an excellent coach who helped take my pickleball game to the next level. As an intermediate player, I needed to refine my shot selection, improve my consistency, and develop better strategy—all of which he helped me achieve. His ability to break down techniques like the third shot drop, dinking, and court positioning made a huge difference in my game. I feel more confident, controlled, and competitive on the court, and I highly recommend Simo to anyone looking to improve their skills!

Simo is an incredible pickleball coach! He helped me improve my spin, power, and overall consistency on the court. With his guidance, I’ve developed better shot placement and strategy, making me a more confident and competitive player. His clear instructions and personalized coaching have made a huge difference in my game—I highly recommend Simo to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level!

As an intermediate pickleball player, I’ve been working on improving my shot selection, consistency, and strategy. Practicing my skills with Simo has helped me refine my game, especially in mixing up spins and power while also knowing when to reset the point. One of my biggest challenges has been mastering the third-shot drop and positioning at the kitchen, but I’m seeing progress. Footwork and anticipation are becoming more crucial, especially against stronger opponents. It’s exciting to develop my skills, and I’m looking forward to continuing to level up my game and win tournaments in the future

Simo is a fantastic coach who truly understands how to take an intermediate player to the next level. He helped me refine my technique, improve my shot selection, and add more control to my spins and power shots. His strategic insights have made a huge difference in my game, especially in doubles play. Thanks to Simo’s coaching, I feel more confident, competitive, and able to adapt to different opponents. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving their pickleball skills!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonReinforce proper grip, stance, and basic strokes (dinks, volleys, groundstrokes) • Work on consistency through controlled rallies. • Introduce the serve and return, emphasizing placement over power. • Teach basic court positioning, including moving with a partner in doubles. • Play mini-games to apply skills in a relaxed setting
Lesson 11+ • Continue refining strokes, consistency, and shot placement. • Introduce spin techniques (topspin, backspin) for more control. • Work on anticipation and reading opponents’ shots. • Play full games with coaching on real-time decision-making. Throughout each lesson, keep drills engaging and provide personalized feedback based on the player’s strengths and areas for improvement. The key is to ensure they’re continuously progressing while still having fun!
