I had the free try out pickleball lesson with Coach Randa today, and I really enjoyed it. I will continue for 4 more lessons. She quickly identified several weaknesses in my game and explained them in a way that was easy to understand. For example, my backhand was inconsistent, and she pointed out that I wasn’t rotating my body together with my swing. Instead of just telling me what I was doing wrong, she helped me actually feel the correct movement, which made a big difference. Randa is patient, encouraging, and easy to learn from. Her teaching style is relaxed and friendly, and she creates a positive learning environment that makes every lesson enjoyable. I left the lesson feeling more confident and motivated to keep improving. I highly recommend Coach Randa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and effective pickleball coach.

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.
