"Mason is absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend him as a coach. He was at the court on time. He was very friendly and of course knowledgeable about the game. He was very patient with my husband and I as we were both beginners. We learned the basics and before he left we were able to play a couple of games with some of the locals. We enjoyed our coaching time immensely. We are from out of town so this one time experience really sets the stage for us to continue learning when we get home.
