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.
