My lesson with Paul was great! He explained everything in detail.. my most favorite was explaining of body mechanics (hand movements , foot positioning , best positioning for paddles) Which help me out a lot. Still a beginner at pickle ball, took lessons in past, unfortunately wasn’t taught this. FYI this was my first lesson with Paul and happy to learn so much.

What I found most helpful was working on my serve and reviewing dinking and blocking shots at the net from the previous lesson. There’s still room for improvement, but Paul’s clear guidance made it easier to understand these skills. If you want to sharpen your pickleball game, his lessons are definitely worth trying! 😊

The first lesson with Paul was everything I expected and more. His guidance, corrections, and explanations were easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions through our first lesson. I can tell he would be a great coach to continue building my skills with and provide the right guidance towards my playing goals. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with him and to put into practice the great foundation he has already taught me. I would highly recommend Paul as your pickleball coach!

What stood out most during the lesson was Paul’s patience and clear focus on teaching the mechanics. The approach made it easy to grasp the fundamentals and feel more confident on the court. If you want a solid introduction to pickleball skills, Paul's lessons are definitely worth trying out. You’ll come away with useful tips and a better understanding of the game.

Pickleball with Paul C.⭑ 4.9 (140 reviews)
How it works
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start off with intros, warm-ups and pointers on footwear and how to play pickleball safely. We’ll then cover the grip and ‘Ready’ position. We’ll then move on to playing at the Kitchen / Non-Volley Zone without and then with paddles. Through these activities I also share important facts about the Kitchen / Non-volley Zone before ending with a Dinking game.
Lesson 11+At this point you should be able to play pickleball with friends and family competently and confidently. Now we’ll focus on improving your shot accuracy and placement. We’ll also work on adding power and spin (topspin & slice) to your shots like the serve, return of serve, groundstrokes and dinks to increase your effectiveness on the court. We’ll also introduce advanced shots like the offensive lob, resets, ATP and ERNE to provide even more weapons in your pickleball arsenal and prepare you for copetititive play. We’ll also provide advice on getting a DUPR rating and playing in leagues and tournaments if needed.
Lesson 4-10For the next few lessons, we’ll consolidate what you have learnt in the first 3 lessons and also introduce the third shot drop and drive. We’ll also learn the block volley and also the key strategies and tactics for doubles play. We will do all these using demos and actual practice but also through drills and gameplay to incorporate all the techniques and strategies you have learned. We’ll also provide advice on paddle and shoe selection and suggest options for Open Play near your home or workplace if needed.
Lesson 2-3For lessons 2 and 3, we’ll cover the forehand and backhand ground strokes and also the mechanics and the rules of serving and the serve return (2 bounce rule). I’ll also teach you how to score and we’ll end off with a ‘skinny singles’ game so you can put everything you learned into practice.
What you need to bringBring along any questions you may have and what areas you want to improve and we’ll address those during our time together!
What I can bringI will provide all equipment (I have 4+ paddles and many balls) so just bring yourself fueled up and ready for a great time!
