"The first lesson with Paul was everything I expected and more. His guidance, corrections, and explanations were easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions through our first lesson. I can tell he would be a great coach to continue building my skills with and provide the right guidance towards my playing goals. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with him and to put into practice the great foundation he has already taught me. I would highly recommend Paul as your pickleball coach!"
"My lesson with Paul was great! He explained everything in detail. My most favorite was explaining of body mechanics (hand movements, foot positioning, best positioning for paddles) which helped me out a lot. Still a beginner at pickleball, took lessons in the past, unfortunately wasn't taught this. FYI this was my first lesson with Paul and happy to learn so much."

If you want a solid introduction to pickleball skills, Paul's lessons are definitely worth trying out. You'll come away with useful tips and a better understanding of the game."
