I was pretty impressed with the lesson, especially since Laura gave some really clear information and instructions. Still, I think it’d be good to have more of the same kind of guidance in future lessons. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience, and I feel like I got a decent handle on some of the basics without overdoing it. If you're looking to improve your pickleball skills, maybe give Laura a try and see if her approach works for you.

Laura's pickleball lesson was quite insightful, especially how she managed to tailor her coaching to me and my wife’s different skill levels. Honestly, her expertise really showed through, and my wife’s confidence for the upcoming tournament improved a lot. Oh, and her approach about handling diverse players was quite impressive. Still, I think continued growth would make her instruction even more effective. If you’re aiming to up your game with someone who truly understands the sport, Laura might just be worth checking out.

Laura is great at seeing what I need help in and helping me fix my errors. She’s a good mix of fun but also a good workout.
Susan
Great coach! Smart player.

I met Laura my first time I picked up a pickleball paddle. I actually bought the same one she had 😂. I took many group lessons at the club she was teaching teaching at which had a good mix of skills, drills and play. I recommend her.

It was raining and she did not cancel. We ended up going to an indoor racquetball court and working on wall drills and athletic training and movement.

How it works
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonHi! I’m a certified IPTPA Pickleball Coach and yoga instructor with experience teaching at clubs, in private sessions, and group classes. I work with beginner and intermediate players, and I adapt each lesson to your goals—whether you want to play socially or get more competitive. Everyone learns differently, so we will build your skills together in a supportive way.
Lesson 11+Once you’re solid on the foundations, we’ll continue progressing your skills with focused, game-like scenarios: • Sharpening shot selection and placement under pressure • Advanced strategy and court IQ • Practicing drills that mimic real-match situations • Refining defensive resets and offensive attacks • Building consistency through repetition and competitive drills • Working on mental focus, confidence, and on-court communication • Light cross-training: mobility, balance, reaction, and pickleball-specific fitness These lessons can be tailored toward social play, tournaments, or simply mastering the game you love.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 are all about developing confidence, consistency, and strategy: • Mastering the soft game (dinks and drops) and understanding when to use each • Improving serve depth, spin, and placement • Learning volley and reset techniques at the kitchen • Footwork drills for better court coverage and reaction • Basic game strategy: how to move with your partner, when to stay back vs. come up • Introduction to third-shot drops and transition zone play • Begin playing mini games and point-based drills • Light fitness conditioning to improve stamina, speed, and balance By the end of this stage, you’ll feel ready to join open play or rec games with confidence.
Lesson 2-3In your second and third lessons, we’ll begin reinforcing the fundamentals introduced in the first session: • Grip, stance, and paddle position review • Serve and return practice, focusing on consistency • Introduction to dinking (the soft game) and basic net play • Begin understanding court positioning and movement • Light drills to build muscle memory • Fun rally play to apply skills in real time These lessons are still very supportive and exploratory—you’ll continue gaining confidence, rhythm, and a sense of how to control the ball.
