What students say...

"The lesson with Kurt went quite well, I’d say. I appreciated how he focused on my serve technique, which has definitely improved a bit, though I still need more practice. Still, it's pretty helpful to get specific tips instead of just vague advice. If he could maybe include more drills, that’d be a plus. That said, I’m hopeful to see even more progress in the next lesson.

I had a wonderful first lesson with Nick! From the very beginning, his communication was kind, clear, and professional. Before our session, he sent helpful information about what to expect, along with tutorial videos to prepare me in advance. When we met, Nick was incredibly welcoming and came fully prepared with pickleball equipment and plenty of balls for practice. Throughout the lesson, he consistently gave me constructive feedback and really showed his expertise and command of the pickleball court. The entire experience was fun, engaging, and motivating. Nick taught me essential techniques, explained the basic rules, and gave me useful tips on how to stay consistent with my practice. We even spent a good amount of time free playing, which was a great way to reinforce everything I’d learned. After the lesson, he followed up with a detailed summary and encouraged me to continue with the sport — which I absolutely will. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to pickleball. Thank you, Nick!

I just had my first Pickleball lesson with Nick, and it was an amazing experience! Nick is a fantastic instructor – knowledgeable, patient, and full of positive energy. He took the time to explain the rules, techniques, and strategies in a way that was easy to understand for a beginner like me. What stood out most was how encouraging and engaging Nick was throughout the lesson. He provided personalized tips to improve my grip, stance, and swing, and I noticed progress in just one lesson. The balance between instruction and actual play, made the lesson in both educational and fun. Nick’s passion for Pickleball is contagious, and his enthusiasm made me feel confident and excited to keep learning. I can’t wait to book my next lesson and continue developing my skills. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking to learn or improve their game!

I highly recommend Nick as a Pickleball coach. In six lessons, he took me from a beginner to an intermediate player with noticeable improvements in my game. Thanks to his structured approach and a variety of drills, my drop shots and drives are more accurate, my back hand and serve have improved significantly, and I’ve developed better top spin control on difficult shots. Nick also helped refine my diagonal dink shots which has made a big difference in my overall strategy and confidence on the court. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective coach, Nick is the right choice.

The lesson highlighted the technical aspects quite well, and I appreciated the balanced approach. Though I still see room to improve, I’m optimistic about the progress I’ll make. Still, I think with continued focus, I could sharpen my skills further. If you're looking for a steady, constructive pickleball lesson, Kurt might be a good choice to try out.
