Group pickleball lessons in Nashville, Tennessee

I’ve been playing pickleball for a while and came to Jamie because I felt like I needed to improve my court strategy. I’ve taken 3 lessons with her so far and I’ve started winning more games with the strategies and techniques weve been working on together so far. What I like about Jamie is that she actually watches how you play and coaches from there. She doesn’t just run me through the same drills. She catches little things with my technique or positioning that I don’t even realize I’m doing, makes an adjustment, and suddenly my shots work. She’s got literally the most killer top spin strokes and I’ve been learning how to hit heavier top spin with her and it’s so encouraging because I can hit more effective shots now and she’s helped me a lot with my slices too. We play a lot of points, which I love. I get the coaching while we hit and play points together. Her tennis background is obvious! You know the second she starts hitting a ball that she was one of the best tennis players in the country. I’d def recommend Jamie. She’s the best!

I’m writing this review for my daughter, Scarlett, who started taking pickleball lessons with Jamie as a beginner. She absolutely loved her lessons! We started out thinking we would just do a few so she could learn how to play, but she enjoyed Jamie so much that we’ve kept going and now she sees her regularly. Jamie is so patient and encouraging and keeps things fun while actually teaching her a TON. I have been amazed at how much Scarlett has improved and how much FUN she’s having on the court. We’ve brought along a few of Scarlett’s friends to join her lessons with Jamie and that’s been a ball for Scarlett and her friends! Scarlett comes home wanting to practice what Jamie taught her against our home backboard and is always asking when she gets to go back and play! Jamie is incredibly talented herself, but she also has a gift for teaching and helping the kids feel comfortable. I would recommend her to any parent looking for someone to teach their child pickleball! We adore her!! Betsy

My son James has been working with Jamie for quite a while now and we’ve made lessons a regular part of his schedule. James plays with her Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and we’ve been on this schedule fairly consistently since January. James plays at Jamie’s outdoor private court, which is awesome and makes it really easy. They’re great together. He started as a beginner with Jamie and has advanced to an intermediate junior player. The improvement in his game has been pretty impressive. Jamie teaches fundamentals, technique, and strategy. She keeps him moving and drilling so he’s never just standing around listening to instruction. Jamie is also an elite player and knows the game inside and out. James is going to start playing junior pickleball tournaments in the fall and Jamie will continue to coach him through it. I would absolutely recommend her, especially if you have a kid who wants to learn pickleball and play competitively. Jamie is awesome!

I cannot say enough good things about Jamie! I am a total beginner. Jamie made me feel so comfortable and we have had so much fun. I originally thought I’d take a couple lessons just to learn the basics, but I’ve continued booking with her a few times per week because every time I go I learn something new and leave feeling like a better player. And my body is starting to transform. It is truly a total body workout! I think that’s what I love the most about it! She is patient, positive, incredibly knowledgeable and fun. And she can PLAY!! You should definitely book with Jamie and you’ll be glad you did. Oh and by the way, her private home court is absolutely beautiful and it’s so easy and there’s so much privacy. It’s in the best location too so that’s a huge bonus and makes it super easy for us to get together. Thousand stars for JJ!

Jamie is legit. Period. I’ve played at a 4.5 level and have continued booking with her because she gives me something that is really difficult to find in Nashville, a great coach who is also a seriously high level expert player. Some days I want to work specifically on technique, strategy, or positioning and she’ll feed me balls and we’ll do drills, etc. and we’ll play points or just hit with each other crosscourt or practice serving, volleying and the dinking! Jamie really pushes me! I can tell I’m going to be in the best shape of my life here pretty soon ha. Her competitive tennis background is incredible and she plays the same way in pickleball. She and I play both tennis and pickleball together now. Great athlete, great instincts great person!

Jamie asked me to write a review and I almost don’t want to because my boys and I would prefer to keep her a secret! We don’t want everyone finding out about her and losing our time with her. Of course, this is well deserved. My two younger boys take pickleball lessons with Jamie and absolutely love it. She makes it fun and competitive and the improvement in both of them has been incredible to watch them. What you may not know is that Jamie also gives tennis lessons, and shed a truly exceptional tennis coach. My oldest son is a teenager and a serious tennis player who wants to compete in regional tournaments and ultimately wants to play college tennis. Jamie has been working with him for 2 years now. Her background as a Division I player and nationally ranked junior really shows and helps us navigate these qualifiers and tournaments for John. She is an elite, pro-level player and has helped our son transform his game. John plays with Jamie 6-7 days a week. She’s a tough coach who can work this well with three boys of different ages, ability levels, and even different sports. We feel very lucky to have Jamie as part of our sports family. -Jason
