"David is a very patient coach. He was very clear when he explained the rules of pickleball. He was able to help each one of us but still pay attention to the other players. He was very encouraging which made us want to come back for more lessons. He provided easy exercises to do on our own. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of taking up pickleball.
