"James has a lot of experience and really knows his stuff, which comes through in how he supports you throughout the lesson. He’s positive and his encouragement definitely keeps you motivated. He gave me great insight to the game and to areas where my form could improve. I’m confident I’ll get better with more lessons and practice. I’ll definitely work with him again to continue to improve specific skills.

Mike is a PPR certified Pickleball instructor focused on helping folks in the Folsom and Sacramento areas how to get into the game he loves. Mike has been teaching over a year now and has been playing for several more. He is a frequent tournament competitor as well.

"Mike's lesson really helped me understand how to hold my racquet better in certain situations and to attack the ball properly. Though I think I could still improve on my serve techniques, I feel more confident now, and the lessons really stuck with me. Still, I’m hopeful that with more practice, my serve will get sharper. Definitely worth trying if you want a measured, practical approach to pickleball.
