"Curtis is great!!
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.

"My 10 YO loved his lesson with Spencer. He is excited to continue to learn form, technique, and rules of the game!

With 7 years of coaching experience and having competed competitively, I offer tailored pickleball instruction. My approach blends strategic insights with a fun learning environment to help you achieve your goals on the court.
"Chris is an awesome pickleball coach. He keeps things light and fun while still helping you improve fast. I liked that he tailored the lesson to exactly what I wanted to work on, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. His advice on serves and returns helped me add way more control. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to clean up your fundamentals, you’ll get a ton out of working with him.
I’ve been an avid pickleball player for over 5 years, competing almost daily at local courts or my indoor club. As a 4.0+ rated player, I’ve won or placed in several local tournaments and truly love the sport. My passion drives me to help others discover and enjoy pickleball as much as I do. Reach out for lessons—I’m confident you won’t be disappointed!

Phoenix's dry desert climate supports outdoor pickleball lessons most of the year, with morning and evening sessions the standard pattern through the hot months. Coaches (also called pickleball instructors or pros) here include crossover athletes from racquet and field sports - Rudi E. came to the game after a professional soccer career, Lorenzo D. brings a tennis background, and Austyn S. has spent five years teaching the sport across all levels. Six venues spread across central Phoenix concentrate most coaching activity, including Encanto Park Tennis Center near downtown and Festival Fields Park out in the East Valley, so it's practical to learn without a long drive. Phoenix's pickleball scene has grown steadily alongside the broader Valley boom, and the city's mix of public-park courts and converted tennis venues means there's near-always an open court somewhere within ten minutes.
