Randa's lesson really stood out for how personal she makes it. I appreciated her focus on my posture and the immediate corrections she provided. Though I still need to work on my form and safety, her clear structure and engaging style kept things pretty helpful. If you’re looking for a coach who pays close attention without overloading you, I’d suggest giving her a try. Wonderful teacher to work with :)

Taking four lessons with Rhonda has been quite a positive experience for me. She’s approachable, really knows her stuff, and made learning basic strokes and strategies pretty enjoyable. Though I think I’ll need more practice to really master it, her feedback on my strengths and weaknesses was helpful. Still, I have nothing but good things to say about her teaching style. If you're new to pickleball, I’d suggest giving her a try.

Dorothy
I’m new to pickleball and have never played a sport in my life. I’m a true beginner. Randa made me feel at ease and was extremely patient. I really enjoy learning the sport of pickleball with Randa. She’s friendly and has a good sense of humor. I’m so happy to have met her and will keep playing pickleball. Thank you Randa!
Stephanie
Randa was very patient with me as this was my first time playing pickleball. She provided a paddle and explained the game to me very well. We practiced many drills on the court and played some games with 2 other players. So much fun! I felt very comfortable with Randa as my instructor and highly recommend her. Pickleball is tons of fun! I’m already addicted after only a few lessons with Randa.
Umesh
I was completely new to Pickleball and Randa made me feel at ease in learning this sport. I’m 77 years old and never played a sport. I enjoyed my lessons with Randa very much and after 4 lessons I feel comfortable playing games with other beginners. I may take more lessons later with Randa after I play for a couple months. I want to improve and get to the next level. Thank you Randa!
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor your first lesson I will teach you the rules of the game, positions on the court, and some beginner drills. We will practice what you learn on the court.
Lesson 11+For all lessons after 10 we will continue with drills, work on more powerful serving, long drives, and play games to work on better ball control and strategic placement of the ball during games. We will continue to fine tune everything you have learned.
Lesson 4-10For your fourth lesson, we will continue practicing drills, dinking strategies, 3rd shot drops and work on better ball control with the paddle. We will play a game towards the end of the lesson.
