The lesson with Katherine was quite helpful, especially in clarifying some strategic aspects of pickleball that I wasn't fully confident about before. Though I think more practice will really help me get comfortable with the techniques covered, I appreciated her calm way of explaining things. Honestly, her approach felt straightforward and tailored without being overly intense, which is nice. Still, I’m hopeful that with continued lessons, I’ll be able to solidify what we discussed and improve further. If you’re considering a lesson, Katherine’s method is worth trying out.

The lesson was really great, actually. I appreciated the focused approach and how well James explained nuances of pickleball, which helped me understand my game better. Still, I think with a bit more emphasis on certain techniques, it could be even better. Anyway, I’m hopeful that future lessons will continue to sharpen my skills, and I’d say you should consider trying James if you want someone who knows their stuff.

Katherine is a 5-star pickleball coach, hands down! Her teaching style is clear, patient, and incredibly effective. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, Katherine tailors each session to meet your specific needs, always providing feedback that’s both constructive and encouraging. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, cheer you on, and make pickleball fun—Katherine is the one! Highly recommend!

Really, I found Katherine's lesson to be quite good, actually. She covered the basics in a clear way and was pretty helpful overall. Still, I think a few more detailed drills could make the lesson even more effective, but I definitely left with a better understanding of some key techniques. If you're somewhat familiar with pickleball and want a straightforward, solid lesson, Katherine's a good choice.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 18•Verified ✓
That was a pretty useful lesson, especially since we concentrated on serving and understanding how a 2 on 2 game works along with the point system. Still, I think I could spend more time on my lob and overhead shots, and maybe get a clearer picture of the point system when playing with three players. Katherine’s approach helps to clarify game mechanics, which makes me hopeful about future lessons.

Katherine’s lesson was quite good. She’s a great instructor, and I left feeling like I gained some useful tips, especially on my positioning and paddle control. Though I still need more learning, I think further practice will help me feel more confident. Still, the lesson provided practical insights I can carry into open play, and I’d be open to trying another to keep that progress going.

Still, I’d be open to trying another lesson with her to see how things develop.

Absolutely loved playing in Laguna Beach and hiring Kat to teach me a few tricks and tips! I had the opportunity to play at a few different courts and meet some pretty nice and fun players! I definitely improved my game and will recommend Kat to anyone who is a beginner or a long time player who wants to improve their game! A great experience!

James's lesson really stood out for his impressive demeanor, and I appreciated how he could pretty much annihilate any opponent on the court. Though, I do think a bit more practice could solidify what we covered. Still, the lesson provided good insights, and I’d consider trying him again if you're looking to sharpen your pickleball skills.

Level: Expert•Lessons taken: 1•Verified ✓
The way James explained things made it really easy to follow, especially with the backhand and forehand dink techniques. Though I still need to build on what I learned, I think another lesson could really help me improve those shots. If you're looking for a straightforward and clear teaching style, you might find it worth trying James.

What stood out most was playing a coached game and having another set of eyes on my playing, which made the session really enjoyable. Katherine’s guidance adds a fresh perspective to the court and makes learning fun. If you want to improve your pickleball skills while having a great time, her lessons are definitely worth trying out! 👏

The lesson with James was quite helpful, especially his expertise and constant encouragement to hold the right positions and swings, which made a difference. I hope to have more sessions like this, I appreciate the kind guidance. James could definitely keep up the good work if you're looking to get more comfortable with your strokes.

Her patients really stand out in the lesson, showing genuine care for their progress. Though I think with a bit better play on my part, I could make more consistent shots. Still, Katherine's approach makes it feel quite natural to pick up new skills. I’ll probably keep working with her as I see real improvement.

I really appreciated how James pushes me to my limit and carefully analyzes even the smallest details, fixing things I hadn’t noticed before. His attention to detail made a big difference in my game. If you want focused and thorough coaching, James is the guy. I would argue he's the best out there.

I had an absolutely phenomenal first lesson with James. I'm a beginner, and I'm so glad I'm learning the fundamentals the right way with him, rather than locking in bad habits from the start. He had so much great feedback for me, and now I have a lot I can work on before our next lesson! 🥳
