Richard is a great coach! He gave me a ton of pointers and I've been improving fast. He's really knowledgeable and makes the lessons funs and challenging. It was great to finally play a game with other residents and put what I learned into action. If you’re looking to improve your pickleball skills, his lessons are definitely worth trying out! 🏓

Enjoyed the first lesson, Richard has a nice demeanor in laying out the game, rules and etiquette. I am looking forward to the next lesson.

I had the absolute pleasure of taking a pickleball lesson with Richard, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the sport! He was wonderfully thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Richard has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes the game approachable and easy to understand even for total beginners like me.

Richard's first lesson was quite thorough, and I appreciated how he balanced covering all the rules with actually playing the ball around, which kept things engaging. Though, I think with a bit more movement and smoother hits, it could become even more effective. Still, it was a good experience and I’d consider trying Richard again for his knowledge and enthusiasm.

Richie knows the rules, he is kind and makes new players feel comfortable. He shows people how to improve their skills and always maintains a friendly and nonjudgmental attitude.

Youth players
Working with kidsI’ve coach various sports for over 40 years covering ages 7-21.
But, teaching young kids has always been rewarding once I see their reaction to their personal accomplishments. That growth is great!!
