β€œI can’t say enough great things about Tato’s pickleball lessons! His energy and passion for the game are contagious, and his teaching style just clicks. He breaks down techniques in a way that makes everything feel doable, even the tricky shots I used to avoid. Thanks to Tato, my game has improved dramatically β€” I’m playing smarter, moving better, and most importantly, I’m way more confident stepping into open play games now. If you’re looking to up your pickleball game and have a blast doing it, Tato is your guy!” β€” Jillian

β€œTato Silva is hands down one of the best pickleball coaches out there! He’s incredibly patient, which was a game-changer for me as I worked on refining my technique. His deep knowledge of the sport is evident in every lesson, and he always finds ways to help you improve while keeping it fun and motivating. On top of that, I had the chance to watch Tato compete in a few advanced tournaments where he took first place β€” seeing his skills in action was truly inspiring. If you’re serious about improving your game, I highly recommend learning from Tato!” β€” George Dantas

Super fun sessions and super helpful. You can tell Tato what you want to work on and he will focus on that!! I had 2 more friends with me last session and it’s the same price for the group! Super recommend him

β€œI only had one pickleball session with Tato, but wow β€” I walked away knowing all the rules and feeling way more confident on the court! He makes learning super fun and has such an easygoing vibe that puts you at ease right away. I’m already planning to go back for more sessions. Highly recommend!” Ps. He promised I’ll learn how to do an ATP hehehe
