“The first lesson with Paul was everything I expected and more. His guidance, corrections, and explanations were easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions through our first lesson. I can tell he would be a great coach to continue building my skills with and provide the right guidance towards my playing goals. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with him and to put into practice the great foundation he has already taught me. I would highly recommend Paul as your pickleball coach! ”

Having taken a lesson with Paul, I’d say the experience was quite good. Though not overly enthusiastic, I think the focus on fundamentals really helped clarify my technique. I feel reasonably confident I’ll improve with time. Still, some more tailored drills would be welcome in future lessons. Anyway, if you’re looking to refine your skills without any fluff, Paul’s worth considering.

Coach Paul is a good fit for me. Im looking for somebody who will help me perfect the basics. This is my first lesson with him and I liked that he pointed out few fundamentals I need to know initially. I know I need to know more and attending more lessons is the next step. I told him my goals and he told me the outline of what we should do. I’m looking forward to my next lessons!

My lesson with Paul was great! He explained everything in detail.. my most favorite was explaining of body mechanics (hand movements , foot positioning , best positioning for paddles) Which help me out a lot. Still a beginner at pickle ball, took lessons in past, unfortunately wasn’t taught this. FYI this was my first lesson with Paul and happy to learn so much.

What stood out most during the lesson was Paul’s patience and clear focus on teaching the mechanics. The approach made it easy to grasp the fundamentals and feel more confident on the court. If you want a solid introduction to pickleball skills, Paul's lessons are definitely worth trying out. You’ll come away with useful tips and a better understanding of the game.
