My experience spans across all age groups, where I've fostered a passion for tennis and skill development in countless students.
"Nice start today, the lesson kept things clear and attentive, and I appreciated the focus on explanations over endless drills. My daughter loved how you explained everything and did drills with her. There’s room for more practice, so I’m keen to build on this momentum next time. If you’re up for it, I’d be glad to continue.

I remember first hearing about the game from a family friend a few years back. I then saw some matches and thought this is an easy game made for senior citizens. I learned real fast how foolish I was. I went to a local park to try it out for the first time and took to it quickly. Gaining false confidence from this I was asked by some regulars to join them. Thinking to myself that it would not be hard to defeat some senior citizens and move on to some more competitive play with people closer in age and abilities. Let me tell you when I say these regulars showed me no mercy. They were hitting shots by me and blocking my hard drives right back. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that I could barely muster a point against them. It didn’t matter who I played. Men, Women, Young, & Old, all had a turn in taking advantage of me. With my pride bruised & battered and thoroughly humbled by my beating, I vowed from that day on to NEVER be beaten by another grandma again lol 😂 . In all seriousness I fell in love with the game and have been addicted ever since. I’ve dedicated myself to getting better and showing others the joy that is Pickleball. It brings me great pleasure in helping others get better and achieving their goals. The hours spent helping friends and family and practicing is equally as enjoyable as playing it myself. The biggest treasure is teaching my eldest of 3 boys the game and playing with him. Hopefully I will be able to share the love and passion for the game with others. “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”, is what they say, right!
"Minh is a phenomenal teacher. He does a great job of teaching from the ground up, ensuring that the fundamentals are sound. He takes into account your skill level when building the lesson plan, and on top of all of that, he’s a pretty fun guy.

With a background in competitive table tennis, I transitioned to competitive pickleball three years ago and haven't looked back. As a tournament player, I’m fascinated by the diverse athletic backgrounds that pickleball players bring to the court. I believe there's no single correct way to play; instead, players can leverage their unique strengths to develop their own style. I’m excited to help you enhance your pickleball game by building on your existing skills and talents.

"My son really enjoys training with Coach Arnold, especially how he keeps him focused and ties in game situations.

"The lesson offered a solid review of fundamentals, which I appreciated, though I think I need a bit more work on those basics. Still, Greg's approach helped keep me motivated to improve my game, and I think with a few more drills, I could see real progress. If you're looking for someone who genuinely encourages steady improvement, it's worth trying Greg out.
