What stood out most was how Laura managed to work with both my wife and me as beginners. She made sure we felt comfortable while getting us involved in drills that helped us improve right away. I’d recommend her lessons to anyone starting out or looking to sharpen their skills. Give her sessions a try if you want a supportive and effective introduction to pickleball! 😊

Laura is great at seeing what I need help in and helping me fix my errors. She’s a good mix of fun but also a good workout.

I met Laura my first time I picked up a pickleball paddle. I actually bought the same one she had 😂. I took many group lessons at the club she was teaching teaching at which had a good mix of skills, drills and play. I recommend her.

It was raining and she did not cancel. We ended up going to an indoor racquetball court and working on wall drills and athletic training and movement.

How it works

Lesson 11+Once you’re solid on the foundations, we’ll continue progressing your skills with focused, game-like scenarios: • Sharpening shot selection and placement under pressure • Advanced strategy and court IQ • Practicing drills that mimic real-match situations • Refining defensive resets and offensive attacks • Building consistency through repetition and competitive drills • Working on mental focus, confidence, and on-court communication • Light cross-training: mobility, balance, reaction, and pickleball-specific fitness These lessons can be tailored toward social play, tournaments, or simply mastering the game you love.

Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 are all about developing confidence, consistency, and strategy: • Mastering the soft game (dinks and drops) and understanding when to use each • Improving serve depth, spin, and placement • Learning volley and reset techniques at the kitchen • Footwork drills for better court coverage and reaction • Basic game strategy: how to move with your partner, when to stay back vs. come up • Introduction to third-shot drops and transition zone play • Begin playing mini games and point-based drills • Light fitness conditioning to improve stamina, speed, and balance By the end of this stage, you’ll feel ready to join open play or rec games with confidence.
