Another great lesson. James has helped me define the weakness in my game and given me a number of ways to strengthen my skills to improve.

Very good first lesson. Tips and techniques for resets, drops and footwork were all immediately helpful.

I had my first lesson with James and it was so fun! James is such an amazing Pickleball trainer. He is so patient and kind. James helped me so much with my serve, and gave me very helpful advice on how to attack the ball while at the net. His lesson really helped me to gain confidence in my serve! James also worked with me on how to improve my dink and volley. I will definitely be booking future lessons with James!
