The lesson with Katherine was quite helpful, especially in clarifying some strategic aspects of pickleball that I wasn't fully confident about before. Though I think more practice will really help me get comfortable with the techniques covered, I appreciated her calm way of explaining things. Honestly, her approach felt straightforward and tailored without being overly intense, which is nice. Still, I’m hopeful that with continued lessons, I’ll be able to solidify what we discussed and improve further. If you’re considering a lesson, Katherine’s method is worth trying out.

The lesson with Donna was quite helpful, honestly. I enjoyed it and learned much, especially about some key techniques that will help me out on the court. Though I’ll still keep trying to improve, I think I got a good foundation. Her approach made the lesson pretty good for my current level, and I appreciated the way she explained things clearly. Still, I look forward to continuing to learn and hope to build on what I’ve picked up so far. Donna's lesson left me feeling confident and ready to practice more.

I had a pretty good time during my lesson with Donna. She kept things engaging without rushing through the fundamentals. Honestly, the focus on truly understanding the basics made a noticeable difference for me. Though I still need to work on consistency, I’m optimistic about practicing what I learned. Still, it was quite helpful to see where I can improve, and I’ll probably sign up again soon to build on what I started.

Really, I found Katherine's lesson to be quite good, actually. She covered the basics in a clear way and was pretty helpful overall. Still, I think a few more detailed drills could make the lesson even more effective, but I definitely left with a better understanding of some key techniques. If you're somewhat familiar with pickleball and want a straightforward, solid lesson, Katherine's a good choice.

That was a pretty useful lesson, especially since we concentrated on serving and understanding how a 2 on 2 game works along with the point system. Still, I think I could spend more time on my lob and overhead shots, and maybe get a clearer picture of the point system when playing with three players. Katherine’s approach helps to clarify game mechanics, which makes me hopeful about future lessons.
