Nancy H.
Clear instructions were given for coaching session. As a beginner who doesn’t have a place to play, I didn’t know where to go. Luckily, Matt has his own private court on a rooftop. Aesthetically, the court was top notch. His easygoing personality put me at ease as I normally shy to go to the gym and workout.
Candice D.
Didn’t know if I wanted to make the investment to buy paddles, balls, and a net so I signed up for a beginner lesson since it was free if I didn’t like the experience. Came for the no risk. Stayed for the complementary coffee and tea. Matt was a great instructor who was engaging, empathetic, and patient!
William H.
Perfect instructor for anyone looking to dip their toes in a great new aerobic exercise. I didn’t realize how many calories I burned. He made it seem effortless. The warm-up run, the introduction, the practice, and the mini-games were a nice touch to spice things up.
Logan K.
I have never played Pickleball before so I didn’t know how to start or what to expect. Matt had a clear and concise game plan. He made the entire game easy to understand. With him as my instructor, the intimidation aspect melter away.
Diego A.
Great instructor! Learned a lot from his sessions. I went from never able to beating my mom in Pickleball to winning local tournaments here in Maryland. Will be referring friends!
Theresa L.
He’s super! Matthew was really helpful and knows what he’s doing. I’m going to beat everybody this spring. I’m excited for our next lesson!
