    That lesson with Manny was pretty useful, especially in solidifying good habits and covering everything thoroughly. Though, I think I’ll need to keep practicing those areas to really get comfortable, but I’m feeling more confident overall. If you’re considering picking up pickleball, Manny’s approach is quite structured and calm, which helps a lot.

    It was great we played together in doubles and I learned more than I would just with a lesson.

    Mannys a rockstar. As a beginner, we worked on some general things and specific items and switched off a little so I could work on it being second nature. Would recommend.

    OMG had such a blast with my lesson with Manny! I feel like I progressed and learned so much with just one lesson, I’ve already signed up for weekly classes!
    Mario
    Had an amazing lesson with Manny! Within 20mins I learned how to serve, return the ball and keep score! I’m officially addicted!
