She worked with me on control vs powering through all my shots. When I play now, I can still hear her say “calm down” & “don’t death grip your racquet, use a 3-4 out of 10 grip on the racquet”. I loved her drills especially the ones at the kitchen line working on quick reactions. If you’re new to pickleball or need additional work on your game, I highly recommend Stephanie!! > From Maria, 5 out of 5 > We are starting up a new senior active living pickleball club. Stephanie came out to do a one day training as people came in and off the courts. Stephanie was very patient with us, explaining some of the fundamentals and techniques in serving and hitting the ball. She was very affirming and encouraging to beginners and had the expertise to evaluate and help a couple of our intermediate players. We have invited her back to do a formal clinic with our club. > From Robert, 5 out of 5 > I have co-taught with Steph on numerous occasions. She is very knowledgeable, always upbeat and positive and with kids has the magic touch. She knows the game well but can also simplify and break down the mechanics as well as the game strategy. I love playing with Steph as she if fun to be around as well as very competitive. As a pickleball instructor she is excellent and you would be lucky to have her for students of all ages. > From Robert, 5 out of 5 > Stephanie was a wonderful instructor. We are a group of different ages and PB skill levels. She design her classes to cover all of these differences. She showed us practice drills we could take away to continue fine tuning the skills she taught us. She is extremely personable and qualified. We have had two clinics with her and look forward to future classes. She gives great clinics and she is a highly qualified teacher. > From Georgann, 5 out of 5 > Being taught by Stephanie was a great experience.

I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who is just beginning Pickleball and those who want to improve their foundation. > From Ashley, 5 out of 5 > I recently took a 2-hour lesson with Stephanie and she is an outstanding instructor.
