Paige
Former DII left-handed pitcher, outfielder, first basemen, slapper, and power hitter with experience coaching 16U–18U travel ball and providing private lessons. I focus on proper form, conditioning, and mental toughness to build strong, healthy, and confident players.

I’m passionate about helping athletes of all ages reach their goals — on the field, in the classroom, and through the recruiting process.
"I really liked how Coach Goose introduced me to pitching. I was not sure if this is what I wanted to do or if I wanted to focus on catching. Though I decided to catch the skills and knowledge she gave me will help me no matter where I play on the field!

I came from a sports and athletic background. I played football, basketball, and baseball as a kid. I also played college tennis and college basketball. 5 years ago, I picked up pickleball paddle, and everything changed. I played in my first senior pro event after only playing for 6 months. I love pickleball and the pickleball community. I have now won cover 30 tournaments from 4.0 to 4.5 to 5.0. I have also achieved silver and bronze on several other tournaments. I get as much satisfaction teaching and helping people get better as I do winning gold in tournaments. I am the head pickleball pro at AAG in Mesa, Arizona. I have been teaching pickleball for the last 3 years. I have taught clinics, private lessons, youth leagues, and private groups. I look for specific things to help clients improve on, depending on your level and tendencies.

With nearly two decades of experience on the golf course, I've honed my skills to achieve a current 4.6 handicap.

I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping fellow golfers improve their game. Whether you're struggling with your putting stroke, chipping accuracy, or course management, I'm dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your golfing goals.

"My son Carlos was part of the Poway Vaqueros Competitive Team where coach Ryan was an assistant coach. His coaching was professional, he was both strict and funny at times. I felt like all the kids loved him. I definitely saw my son Carlos grow as a better person on the field. When Ryan left my son was very sad that he wasn’t on the coaching staff and so was I. I am happy he reached out to me, to see how we are doing. I am honored to leave him this review.
Ryan
Hi, I’m Rian Weston-Dodds, I’ve been playing for over 5 years now coaching for about 2. I’ve had a career high DUPR rating of over 5.0 and have coached at various locations including Picklemall, Life Time, the Picklr, and now soon Dink and Dine. I'm PPR certified, with 70 matches logged in DUPR from leagues and tournaments. I specialize in helping beginners players get a handle on the game, and also the intermediate players with strategy and technical aspects. I look forward to working with you on the court! At the moment, the Mountainside Fitness on Frank Lloyd Wright is the easiest way to get a an indoor court during the summer, free for members and only $10 for non members. It is on a basketball court but it works fine for practice. Otherwise, The Orchard Indoor Pickleball Private Event Venue by Talking Stick resort is also a good option for a rentable, authentic indoor court. But it does cost $30 for an hour. If you have your own private court let me know, otherwise many public courts get busy in the early mornings and afternoons but often times Ashler Hills usually has an open court.
"Rian is a fantastic coach who offers clear and practical advice during our pickleball lessons. I enjoyed how he adjusts strategies on the spot to help improve the game. His guidance really helped me play better and feel more confident on the court. If you want to develop your skills in a supportive way, Rian’s lessons are definitely worth trying.
