"Had three amazing sessions with Scott. He came up with super effective exercises, he taught technique and strategy very well and we played some matches together. Would definitely recommend him anytime.
Scott
Have played for several years now and play competitively a couple of times per week. Absolutely love playing the game and teaching it to others!

Nathan
I am a RSPA Certified Pickleball Professional. My racquet sports career started in tennis where I played for my high school and collegiate teams. I went on to be a collegiate head coach, club tennis professional and tennis director at a country club. After leaving tennis for a professional sales career, I found I missed helping people enjoy a game and get some exercise. Pickleball is a fantastic game that offers great exercise, fun competition and is incredibly social. Pickleball is fun and learning it should be to!
"Steve is a wonderful and welcoming coach who combines deep expertise with clear, easy-to-understand explanations. He is organized, efficient and brings a fun, positive energy to every interaction.

I’m a 4.5-level pickleball player and the Head Pickleball Professional at Des Moines Golf and Country Club. Since March 2025, I’ve coached more than 100 lessons with players ranging from complete beginners to advanced (4.0) competitors. My coaching style is technical, encouraging, and tailored to your goals. I focus on clear instruction, practical drills, and helping you build confidence while enjoying the game.
"Great teacher. I was stuck and plateaued after some competitive success but couldn’t crack those more difficult players. I was filming myself but didn’t know what I was even looking for. Brandon was so helpful and would break things down into manageable pieces and helped me improve my resets, serves, drives, and dinks. He also gave me specific drills, videos, and small daily things to work on. So helpful and encouraging.
