Hi, I’m Rian Weston-Dodds, I’ve been playing for 6 years now coaching for about 3. I have a 5.0 DUPR rating and have coached at various locations across the valley including Picklemall, Life Time, the Picklr, and many public and private courts. PPR certified. I specialize in helping intermediate players improve with strategy and technique, but can also help beginner players get a handle on the game. I look forward to working with you on the court! At the moment, the Mountainside Fitness on Frank Lloyd Wright is the easiest way to get a an indoor court during the summer, free for members and only $10 for non members. It is on a basketball court but it works fine for practice. Otherwise, The Orchard Indoor Pickleball Private Event Venue by Talking Stick resort is also a good option for a rentable, authentic indoor court. But it does cost $40 for an hour. Outdoors, public parks are usually not busy midday. But the Oasis Community Church has outdoor courts for rent and they only ask for 10% of the lesson fee. If you have your own private, court let me know.

"Rian is a fantastic coach who offers clear and practical advice during our pickleball lessons. I enjoyed how he adjusts strategies on the spot to help improve the game. His guidance really helped me play better and feel more confident on the court. If you want to develop your skills in a supportive way, Rian’s lessons are definitely worth trying.

I've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won. My playing philosophy centers around strong defense, consistency, and capitalizing on your opponents’ mistakes. I’m also a big advocate of recording your own games. Watching your play back is one of the fastest ways to identify patterns, correct mistakes, and make meaningful progress. If you’re ready to build a smarter, more consistent game, I’d love to work with you.

"Grant was a kind and patient coach! I walked away with multiple tangible takeaways and was a better player in an hour! I highly recommend Grant!

Not your average pickleball coach; I take this sport either way too seriously or make jokes about every aspect of its silliness. I take people with zero experience to learn the basics the best way possible as well as the tournament veteran looking to add the next step on their journey to success. My resume has plenty of [2.5->3.5] and [4.0->4.5] stories, with eye witness accounts and hundreds of 5 star reviews you are sure to have a blast learning pickleball with me.

"My 10 YO loved his lesson with Spencer. He is excited to continue to learn form, technique, and rules of the game!

I've been immersed in the world of tennis since the tender age of 3, carrying my passion all the way to the college level. Trained by former D1 coaches, I've had the privilege of facing off against fellow college-level players. I'm here to share my wealth of knowledge with over 6 years of coaching experience, including serving as the assistant tennis coach at ALA High School and coaching at a tennis academy in the valley. Let's elevate your tennis journey together!

"The lesson was quite helpful for my overall tennis technique, though I think there’s still some room for improvement, especially with my backhand. Cidny's insights were practical and easy to follow, which I appreciated, but I’m hoping future lessons can build on the fundamentals further. Interestingly, the focus on footwork really made a difference for me. If you're considering trying a lesson, I’d say give Cidny a shot and see how it goes.

"I’ve taken over 100 golf lessons with the same instructor, starting from the days I could barely make solid contact. Back then, my goal was simple—just keep the ball in play. Fast forward to today, and I’m shooting consistently in the mid-80s. That transformation didn’t happen by accident. My instructor is the kind of teacher you almost don’t want to tell the world about—because once people find out, his schedule will be impossible to get on. He has a rare gift for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, feel-based cues that actually stick. He doesn’t just teach the swing—he teaches you how to play the game, manage the course, and think like a better golfer. In my opinion, he’s a diamond in the rough, and absolutely deserves to be recognized among the elite instructors in the game today.
